BAY SCALLOP GRATIN

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 44m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
6 large garlic cloves, minced
2 medium shallots, minced
2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto di Parma, minced
4 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, plus extra for garnish
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons Pernod
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons good olive oil
1/2 cup panko
6 tablespoons dry white wine
2 pound fresh bay scallops
Lemon, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place 6 (6-inch round) gratin dishes on a sheet pan.
  • To make the topping, place the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (you can also use a hand mixer). With the mixer on low speed, add the garlic, shallot, prosciutto, parsley, lemon juice, Pernod, salt, and pepper and mix until combined. With the mixer still on low, add the olive oil slowly as though making mayonnaise, until combined. Fold the panko in with a rubber spatula and set aside.
  • Preheat the broiler, if it's separate from your oven.
  • Place 1 tablespoon of the wine in the bottom of each gratin dish. With a small sharp knife, remove the white muscle and membrane from the side of each scallop and discard. Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and distribute them among the 3 dishes. Spoon the garlic butter evenly over the top of the scallops. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the topping is golden and sizzling and the scallops are barely done. If you want the top crustier, place the dishes under the broiler for 2 minutes, until browned. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkling of chopped parsley and serve immediately with crusty French bread.

SCALLOPS BOURGUIGNONNE



Scallops Bourguignonne image

Provided by James Beard

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds bay scallops
Red wine
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon thyme
7 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
4 shallots, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
6 ounces butter
Chopped toasted almonds or toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Poach scallops in red wine to cover, seasoned with salt, thyme, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, 1 teaspoon chopped shallot, and 1 chopped clove garlic. The scallops will cook very quickly, in a little more than a minute. Do not let them shrink and get tough but scoop them out the minute they are done and arrange them in buttered individual ramekins or shells. Make beurre l'escargot by creaming the butter with the rest of the garlic, 3 finely chopped shallots, and 5 to 6 tablespoons chopped parsley. Top each ramekin of scallops with a good spoonful of the butter and sprinkle with almonds or sesame seeds. Put under broiler flame just long enough to brown well on top. Serve as first course at dinner or a main course at luncheon. With this, drink the same red wine used cooking, perhaps a Fleurie.

Provided by thedailygourmet

Categories     Fettuccini

Time 22m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 ounces fettuccini pasta
2 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
½ pound bay scallops
¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup white wine
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup loosely packed baby spinach
¼ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons julienned sun-dried tomatoes
⅛ cup microgreens

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender, yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place bacon pieces in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
  • Add minced garlic to the remaining bacon grease and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add bread crumbs and cook until golden, about 30 seconds more. Remove panko-garlic mixture to a small bowl.
  • Blot dry bay scallops with a paper towel. Season bay scallops with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook bay scallops in the same skillet until nicely golden, about 2 minutes. Pour in white wine and cream. Stir to combine. Add spinach, Parmesan Cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and crumble in cooked bacon; stir to combine.
  • Drain pasta, reserving 1/3 cup pasta water. Add fettuccine noodles to the skillet with scallop mixture and mix to combine. If sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time to thin out sauce.
  • Plate fettuccine mixture and garnish with toasted panko and microgreens, if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh or frozen bay scallops. If using frozen scallops, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for 30 minutes.
  • Pat the scallops dry before cooking. This will help them to brown evenly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or sauté pan. This will help to prevent the scallops from sticking.
  • Heat the oil or butter over medium-high heat before adding the scallops. This will help to sear the scallops and prevent them from becoming rubbery.
  • Cook the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and opaque. Do not overcook the scallops, or they will become tough.
  • Add the wine and any other desired ingredients to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the scallops immediately with your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Bay scallops in wine is a quick, easy, and delicious seafood dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The scallops are cooked in a flavorful wine sauce that is perfect for dipping bread or rice. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
