BUZZARD'S BAY BOURBON SCALLOPS



Buzzard's Bay Bourbon Scallops image

This dish was conceptualized for the Victory Dinner Celebration at the 2014 Buzzard's Bay Cup Challenge. It played off local and imported ingredients for the event. I like to serve these over a field of wilted greens like Swiss or rainbow chard.

BLUE HEAVEN SCALLOPS



Blue Heaven Scallops image

I found this recipe online, the Blue Heaven is a fantastic Key West restaurant that I used to frequent, eat outside with roosters running around you, a great tire swing in the yard...it's a kind of eclectic (young hippy-like) restaurant with award winning gourmet chefs.

Time 8m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb scallops
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/2 tomatoes, diced
1/2 sweet onion, chopped
1/4 lb mushroom, sliced
1 teaspoon capers
1/4 cup white wine or 1/4 cup chicken broth
butter, slices

Steps:

  • This is an edited version of the original, but oh so yum! I used some Swanson's fat free broth vs. wine, mainly because it's what I had, and I added the capers because I like them!
  • The trick is to use a VERY HOT pan to sear the scallops. I used the large sea scallops and I sprayed the pan with cooking spray first. Then you quickly add the garlic. When done quickly, it browns the scallops slightly and thus you get a brownish sauce to go along.
  • Add the tomatoes, onion, mushrooms, capers which will cool down the pan so the scallops and garlic stop cooking.
  • Cook for just a minute, add the wine or broth, stir it up to get the scrapings into the sauce (like clarifying?) and simmer for a minute or two.
  • Remove from heat and add the butter slice, swirl it to finish the sauce.
  • This is some good stuff fit for a very special occasion. I served with shrimp scampi, asparagus with hollandaise, and garlic bread which was a great way to enjoy all those flavors as dipping sauces.
