Best 6 Bay Scallops Scampi Recipe From Oyster Bar Executive Chef Sandy Ingber Recipes

BAY SCALLOPS SCAMPI

Steps:

• In a large heavy-bottomed skillet, heat the oil and half of the butter over medium-high heat until mixture starts to brown.
• MAKE SURE THE PAN AND OIL MIXTURE IS VERY HOT - Transfer half of the scallops to the skillet and cook WITHOUT MOVING until seared: ABOUT 20 - 30 SECONDS. Gently flip and sear on other side for another 20 - 30 SECONDS. Remove from skillet; add remaining scallops and butter. Cook in the same manner as the first batch.
• Once the second batch of scallops is finished cooking, return the first batch to the skillet and give a quick, gentle toss. Remove skillet from heat.
• Add the garlic, lemon juice, wine and cappers. Season with salt and pepper. Give a gentle toss and place scallops on a warmed serving platter. Garnish with parsley and lemon zest. Serve immediately.
• Serve with crusty Italian or French bread for dipping in the garlic-butter sauce. This dish pairs nicely with steamed fresh asparagus or zucchini.
• COOK'S TIP: Scallops contain a lot of water that will gush out once they get hot - THEY NEED A LOT OF HEAT APPLIED QUICKLY. Never crowd the scallops when cooking, otherwise they will steam instead of sear.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package directions for al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water, then drain the pasta.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the scallops with salt and pepper. Add the scallops to the skillet, raise the heat to high and sear until golden brown and just firm, 1 to 2 minutes per side; transfer to a plate.
• Return the skillet to medium-high heat, add the butter and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until the garlic is lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Add the cooked pasta and parsley to the skillet and toss to combine. Add a little of the reserved pasta cooking water to help thin out the sauce so it evenly coats the pasta. Divide the pasta evenly into bowls and top each with some scallops.

SAUTEED BAY SCALLOPS WITH LEMON BUTTER

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.
