Tips :

To vary the pleasures you can replace the white Porto, White Martini, white Rum or Cognac. You can also choose not to burn but deglaze with alcohol (dry white wine, Martini, Porto). You can also make this recipe with shrimp or only then replace the scallops and shrimp with lobster medallions. For those who want a thicker sauce you can add a tablespoon of mascarpone.
