Servings: persons

1 pound bay scallops, preferably dry pack
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Salt
1/4 cup clam juice
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
3/4 cup light cream
1 teaspoon kirschwasser
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped pistachios
1/2 teaspoon coarsely cracked black pepper

1
Place a colander into or over a bowl and place it next to the stove. Use paper towels to pat the scallops dry.
2
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it turns light brown (do not let it turn dark or burn). Add the scallops and stir-fry just until they become translucent in the center, 1 to 2 minutes; do not overcook or they will become tough. Season lightly with salt. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the scallops to the colander.
3
Add the clam juice and wine to the skillet. Add any juices that have dripped into the bowl below the colander. Cook over medium-high heat until the liquid has reduced to about 3 tablespoons, 5 or 6 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, with the liquid just barely bubbling, for 1 minute.
4
Meanwhile, combine the cornstarch and cream in a small bowl and stir to remove any lumps. Add to the skillet and cook until the mixture has thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the kirschwasser.
5
To serve, transfer the scallops to a serving dish, pour the sauce over them and sprinkle with the pistachios and cracked pepper; or spoon over individual portions of angel-hair pasta and sprinkle with the pistachios and pepper.
