Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 medium ripe tomatoes
1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
1 1/2 to 2 pounds large sea scallops
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons curry powder, or to taste
1/2 cup heavy cream, sour cream, or yogurt, optional
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 cup washed, dried, and chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • 1.Core the tomatoes (cut a cone-shaped wedge out of the stem end), then cut them in half horizontally. Gently squeeze out the liquid and shake out most of their seeds. Chop their flesh into 1/2-inch pieces and set aside. Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes. While it is heating, sprinkle the scallops with salt and pepper and spread the curry powder on a plate.
  • 2. Add the oil, then quickly dredge the scallops lightly in the curry powder and add them to the pan. About 2 minutes after you added the first scallop, turn it-;it should be nicely browned (if it is not, raise the heat a bit). When the scallops are all browned and turned, cook for another minute, then add the tomatoes and the cream if you're using it (if you are using yogurt, lower the heat immediately; it must not boil).
  • 3. Heat the tomatoes through, then taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Sprinkle with the lime juice, stir in the cilantro, and serve.
  • Keys To Success
  • SINCE YOU'RE USING a large quantity of curry powder here, it should not be super-hot. (This is obviously a matter of taste, but I prefer a mild, sweet curry.) The powder itself must be fairly fine; if it is too coarse, the resulting crust will be gritty rather than crisp.
  • DREDGE THE SCALLOPS lightly in the curry, not as heavily as you would in flour.
  • KEEP THE SCALLOPS rare; they're at their best that way, and perfectly safe, as long as they're fresh.

CURRIED SCALLOPS WITH FETTUCINE

Categories     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

Coarse salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon plus a pinch of curry powder
Freshly ground pepper
1 pound sea scallops, tough muscles removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup homemade or low-sodium canned chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
8 ounces fettucine
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil, and add a generous amount of salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and 1 teaspoon curry powder; season with salt and pepper. Working one at a time, dredge the scallops in the flour mixture, turning to coat both sides. Tap off excess flour; place on a large plate.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until it is very hot but not smoking. Add scallops, being careful not to overcrowd pan. Sear until golden on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; keep warm.
  • Deglaze skillet; add chicken stock and cream, and bring to a boil, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Season with salt, pepper, and remaining pinch of curry powder. Cook until sauce is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook fettucine in boiling water until it is al dente according to package directions. Drain in a colander; toss with sauce. Transfer to a serving platter. Top with scallops, and garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH JAMMY CHERRY TOMATOES



Seared Scallops With Jammy Cherry Tomatoes image

The simple, summery dinner is a reminder that in-season produce and fresh seafood shine brightest with little fussing. Seared scallops are paired with cherry tomatoes that are cooked in white wine and butter until they're falling apart, and the whole thing is finished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs and lemon zest. Equal parts casual and elegant, this dish is best served straight from the skillet, with a big green salad, a nice loaf of bread and the rest of the wine.

Categories     dinner, weekday, seafood, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup thinly sliced shallots (about 2 shallots)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup dry white wine, such as muscadet or sauvignon blanc
1 pound cherry tomatoes, cut in half through the stem (about 3 cups tomatoes)
Kosher salt and black pepper
16 large sea scallops (about 1 pound), tough muscle removed
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil, plus more as needed
1 lemon, halved
Julienned fresh basil and mint, for serving
Coarse sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-low and add the butter to melt. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes, until tender but not browned. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fragrant.
  • Add the wine and cook until about half the liquid has evaporated.
  • Add the tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook over medium-heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 12 minutes, until the tomatoes have released their juices and almost completely collapsed. Transfer the tomato mixture to a small dish (use a rubber spatula to get every last bit of the sauce!), then carefully wipe out the pan with a damp paper towel.
  • Pat the scallops dry. Add the grapeseed oil to the skillet and turn the heat to medium-high. When the oil is very hot, add half the scallops, spacing them evenly in the pan, and season with kosher salt. Cook without moving for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown on the bottom. Flip and cook for 1 more minute. Don't overcook! Transfer the scallops to a plate and repeat with the remaining scallops, adding more oil if necessary.
  • Drain any remaining oil and take the skillet off the heat. Return the tomatoes and their juices to the skillet and squeeze in 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Return the scallops to the skillet, nestling them into the tomatoes. Top with the zest of both lemon halves, julienned basil and mint, and a generous sprinkle of coarse sea salt, and serve immediately.

SEA SCALLOPS WITH GARLIC AND TOMATOES



Sea Scallops With Garlic and Tomatoes image

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 pounds fresh sea scallops, cut in half if large
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup flour for dredging
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
2 cups diced fresh, ripe tomatoes, peeled and seeded
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup coarsely chopped basil leaves or parsley

Steps:

  • Place the scallops in a bowl, and add the milk. Stir to coat, and let stand briefly.
  • Place the flour in a flat dish. Add salt and pepper; blend well. Drain the scallops, and dredge them in the flour mixture. Place the flour-coated scallops in a large sieve. Shake to remove any excess flour. Scatter the scallops onto a sheet of foil or wax paper so that they do not touch, or they may stick together.
  • Heat the olive oil in a saucepan. Add the garlic, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Add the vinegar, and bring to a sizzle. Simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Heat the vegetable oil over high heat in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the scallops in one layer. Add the scallops, and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Spoon equal portions of the scallops onto warm plates, and pour some of the tomato sauce over each portion. Sprinkle each with an equal amount of chopped basil or parsley, and serve with noodles.

  • Sear the scallops over high heat. This will help to create a nice crust.
  • Do not overcook the scallops. They should be cooked through, but still slightly translucent in the center.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in the curry. This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Use a good quality curry powder. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
  • Adjust the amount of curry powder to taste. Some people prefer a milder curry, while others prefer a spicier curry.
  • Serve the curry with rice or naan bread.
