Scallops and Asparagus in Wine Sauce

4 Servings


1 pound scallops
16 ounces clam juice
1 cup dry white wine
4 ounces trimmed asparagus
2 tablespoons margarine
1/4 cup minced shallots
3 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Rinse scallops in cold water and drain. Set aside. In small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine clam juice and wine. Boil, uncovered, until mixture is reduced to 1 1/2 cups. Set aside. Cut asparagus diagonally into 1-inch lengths. Steam until tender crisp and set aside. Heat margarine in a nonstick skillet. Add shallots and sauté until translucent. Add flour and cook 1 minutes. Whisk in reduced clam juice. When sauce is thick, add scallops and cook over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, or until scallops are cooked. Add lemon juice, asparagus and parsley and stir until well heated.
