  • Fill a medium pot with warm water. Attach the sous vide and set the temperature to 123 degrees F (51 degrees C) to preheat.
  • Remove tough muscle from sides of scallops, if present, and lightly season with salt and pepper. Transfer scallops to a resealable plastic bag and remove all the air using the water immersion method.
  • Place scallops into the preheated water in the pot and cook for 30 minutes.
  • Remove scallops from the bag and pat dry thoroughly; if scallops are wet, they will not sear well.
  • Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Sear scallops in hot oil until bottoms are lightly brown, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook for 1 more minute. Remove scallops from the skillet to a warmed dish.
  • Add garlic to the skillet; cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Deglaze the skillet with white wine and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits. Mix in parsley and Cajun seasoning; simmer sauce for 2 minutes. Stir in butter until just melted.
  • Spoon sauce over scallops; sprinkle with green onion tops to serve.
