Steps:
- If you're using bay scallops, keep them whole and pat them dry.. If you're using sea scallops, cut each one in half horizontally, then pat them dry. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, toss with flour, and shake off the excess.
- In a very large sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over high heat until sizzling and add the scallops in one layer. Lower the heat to medium and allow the scallops to brown lightly on one side without moving them, then turn and brown lightly on the other side. This should take 3 to 4 minutes, total.
- Melt the rest of the butter in the pan with the scallops, then add the shallots, garlic, and parsley and sauté for 2 more minutes, tossing the seasonings with the scallops. Add the wine, cook for 1 minute, and taste for seasoning. Serve hot with a squeeze of lemon juice.

Steps:
- Dry scallops and spread on a piece of wax paper.
- Toss with a sprinkling of salt and pepper.
- The moment before sautéing, toss them in flour, turn them into a sieve and shake off the excess.
- Set a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan over high heat.
- Add clarified butter or oil; when hot, add scallops.
- Just as the scallops begin to brown, about 1 minute, toss with shallots and garlic, then add tomatoes and wine.
- Boil over high heat for a moment, tossing and folding until the juices have thickened enough to enrobe the scallops; fold in parsley.
- Taste and correct the seasoning.
- (If there seems to be too much liquid, transfer the scallops and tomatoes with a slotted spoon to the baking dish and boil the liquid until thickened. Pour over the scallops and continue.) Turn the scallops into shells or a baking dish.
- Sprinkle with the cheese and bread crumbs, and drizzle with butter or oil.
- Heat slowly under a hot broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, only until bubbling and lightly browned.
- Serve immediately.
BAY SCALLOP GRATIN
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 PROVENçALE
Steps:
- In a non-stick skillet large enough to hold the scallops in one layer heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sear the scallops for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and just cooked through. Transfer the scallops with a slotted spoon to a small platter and keep them warm, covered loosely. Add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil to the skillet and in it cook the garlic over moderate heat, stirring, until it is pale golden. Add the tomato and the thyme and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Season the tomato mixture with salt and pepper, spoon it over and around the scallops, and sprinkle the scallops, and sprinkle the scallops provençale with the basil.
BAY SCALLOPS PROVENçAL
Sometimes the best pairings are accidental. One weekend when I had some work to do, I asked my husband to go to the local fish market and pick up one of their marvelous chowders that could be reheated for lunch. He came home instead with a pound of local bay scallops, the first of the season (and abundant this year). Now I had to cook. Fortunately, I had other suitable ingredients on hand and in less than 30 minutes, lunch was on the table. Not one to let a tasting opportunity go to waste, I figured the dish I almost literally threw together would be compatible with a bottle of simple white Burgundy. It had just enough richness in the glass.

Steps:
- Season the flour with some salt and pepper and toss the scallops in it. Heat the oil in a 10- to 12-inch skillet. Add the shallot and garlic and sauté over medium heat a few minutes, until soft. Remove, draining well to keep most of the oil in the pan. Increase the heat to medium-high. Shake excess flour from the scallops and sauté them, tossing, until lightly browned.
- Return the shallot and garlic to the skillet. Add the tomatoes and sauté until they soften, a minute or so. Add the lemon juice and wine and stir just until the ingredients are well combined. With a slotted spoon, transfer the scallops to a warm serving dish. (It's fine if some vegetables hitch a ride with the scallops.)
- Increase the heat to high and reduce the liquid until it thickens to the consistency of heavy cream. Lower heat, swirl in the butter and check the seasoning. Fold in the parsley. Pour the sauce over the scallops and arrange the toast around the platter.

SCALLOP GRATIN
As far as I'm concerned, a simple gratin is the most delicious way to cook fresh scallops. The only real way to screw this recipe up would be to use the wrong scallops. And by wrong, I mean any scallops that have been soaked in a preservative brine. These are easy to identify, as they're usually sitting in a pool of milky liquid. What you want are usually sold as wild 'day-boat,' 'diver,' or 'dry-pack' scallops. They are really expensive, and worth every penny. Serve with French bread for dipping.

Since scallops will continue to release their cooked juices, drain this liquid before returning scallops to the pan so that your sauce is thicker.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make all the difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for scallops that are firm and have a slightly briny smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have an off odor.
- Sear the scallops properly. Searing the scallops will help to develop their flavor and prevent them from becoming tough. Make sure your pan is hot before adding the scallops and sear them for 1-2 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown.
- Do not overcook the scallops. Scallops are a delicate seafood and can easily be overcooked. Overcooked scallops will be tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are opaque in the center, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for zucchini, tomatoes, and onions, but you can use any vegetables that you like. Some other good options include bell peppers, mushrooms, and asparagus.
- Season the dish to taste. Use salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of crème fraîche to finish the dish.
Conclusion:
This gratin of sautéed scallops Provençal is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The scallops are seared until golden brown and then baked in a creamy sauce with vegetables. The result is a dish that is both flavorful and satisfying. Serve this dish with a glass of white wine and enjoy!
