CREAMY BAY SCALLOP SPAGHETTI
This scallop and spaghetti dinner with a creamy sauce is fast and easy. I cook the scallops a bit longer than many chefs, but that's gives the dish more flavor and they're still tender and moist. I think you'll agree, the sherry sauce benefits significantly from the longer cook time.

Steps:
- Choose a saute pan large enough to hold all of the scallops in one layer without overcrowding the pan or without them touching each other. Cook in batches if necessary. Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter until nearly smoking. Add the scallops and do not move or shake pan, but allow the scallops to brown well on one side before tossing the pan to flip them or gently turning them with a spatula to cook the second side.
- Remove the scallops from the pan and place on a warm serving platter. Return the pan in which the scallops had been cooked to the fire, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sweet butter, and cook until the butter begins to turn a light brown color. When the butter has browned to a hazelnut color add the lemon juice and chopped parsley.
- Pour the classic lemon butter over the scallops, garnish with heart-shaped croutons and serve promptly.

BABY SCALLOPS AND PASTA
Steps:
- Saute garlic until light brown, add mushrooms and cook until tender. Add cream and bring to a boil, simmer 5 minutes. Add 1C dry white wine, up to 2 cups for desired thickness. Simmer 5 minutes and add Old Bay seasoning (to taste, about 2T). Add scallops and cook on stove until desired thickness is achieved. Serve over any type of pasta - we like farfalle. Sprinkly with freshly grated cheese and serve.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make all the difference in the taste of your po'boy. Look for baby scallops that are plump and firm, and make sure your bread is fresh and crusty.
- Use a flavorful breading: The breading is what gives the po'boy its signature crispy crunch. Use a mixture of seasoned flour, breadcrumbs, and herbs.
- Cook the scallops properly: Scallops are best cooked quickly over high heat. This will help them stay tender and juicy.
- Add your favorite toppings: The classic po'boy is served with lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles. You can also add other toppings, such as cheese, bacon, or avocado.
- Make sure your po'boy is hot and fresh: The best po'boys are served hot and fresh out of the fryer. If you're making them ahead of time, reheat them in the oven before serving.
Conclusion:
The baby scallop po'boy is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.
