Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound dry sea scallops (12 to 15 scallops), side muscles removed
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons Compound Lemon Butter, recipe follows
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon lemon zest plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Place the scallops on a paper towel-lined sheet tray and pat dry. Sprinkle the scallops with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat a large nonstick saute pan on medium-high heat, then add the oil and heat until shimmering. Add the scallops and sear on one side until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently turn the scallops over and add the Lemon Butter, basting the scallops by gently spooning the melting butter over the top, for about 1 minute.
  • Add the wine and lemon juice and allow the scallops to simmer until they are cooked through, another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the scallops to a platter and sprinkle with the chives.
  • Combine the butter, lemon zest, lemon juice and salt in a medium bowl and stir until smooth. Spoon the butter onto the lower third of a piece of plastic wrap. Fold the plastic wrap over the butter and use a spatula to compress the butter into a log about 5 inches long and 2 inches wide. Twist both ends of the plastic wrap to seal the butter inside. Refrigerate the butter until firm, at least 30 minutes, before using.

Buttery Scallops With Lemon and Herbs image

Simple and very speedy, this dish shows off the sweetness and delicacy of fresh sea scallops, seasoned with only lemon, garlic, herbs and a sprinkle of red-pepper flakes. A little butter gives it a touch of richness, while the grated lemon zest adds brightness and a jolt of acid. You can serve this with a big green salad for a light meal, or over buttered noodles or mashed potatoes for something more substantial.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     quick, seafood, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds sea scallops, patted dry
Salt and black pepper
4 to 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced thyme leaves
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for garnish
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
1/2 cup chopped soft herbs (such as basil, chives, mint or cilantro), for garnish

Steps:

  • Season scallops lightly on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large, preferably nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add 3 tablespoons butter and let melt. Place seasoned scallops in the pan in a single layer without touching. (Do this in batches if necessary, using another tablespoon of butter if needed for the second batch.) Cook without moving until bottoms are golden brown, 3 minutes.
  • Flip the scallops and add another tablespoon of butter to the pan. Stir in garlic and thyme, and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute longer.
  • If you took any of the scallops out of the pan to cook them in batches, put them back in now. Pour lemon juice on top of all the scallops, sprinkle with the lemon zest, and toss everything gently to combine.
  • Transfer scallops to serving plates and sprinkle red-pepper flakes on top. Garnish with chopped soft herbs and lemon wedges, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are firm, plump, and have a slightly sweet smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Clean the scallops properly. Rinse the scallops under cold water and remove any grit or debris. Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel before cooking.
  • Use a hot skillet or grill. This will help to sear the scallops and prevent them from sticking. If you are using a grill, make sure the coals are hot before adding the scallops.
  • Cook the scallops for a short time. Scallops cook quickly, so it is important not to overcook them. Cook the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and cooked through.
  • Season the scallops with simple ingredients. Lemon, garlic, and butter are all经典 flavors that pair well with scallops. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as paprika, chili powder, or Old Bay seasoning.

Conclusion:

BBQ Lemon Scallops are a quick and easy seafood dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The scallops are cooked to perfection and the lemon and butter sauce is simply delicious. This dish is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
