Best 8 Grilled Scallops With Curried Tomato Coulis Recipes

GRILLED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Pat dry each scallop and lay them on a tray. Sprinkle on some olive oil, coating scallops on all sides. Season the scallops with salt, black pepper, and lemon pepper, making sure that the seasoning covers all sides. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
• Grill for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Serve immediately.

GRILLED SCALLOPS WITH CURRIED TOMATO COULIS

Steps:

• In a skillet cook the shallots in the olive oil over moderate heat, stirring, until they are softened, stir in the mustard seeds and the curry powder, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the sugar, the tomatoes, and salt and pepper to taste and cook the mixture, stirring, for 2 minutes, or until the tomatoes begin to release their juices. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and keep the coulis warm. Heat a well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat until it is hot and brush it with vegetable oil. Add the scallops, patted dry, and grill them for 2 1/2 minutes on each side, or until they are just firm. Divide the coulis between 2 plates and top each serving with half the scallops.

CURRIED SCALLOPS WITH TOMATOES

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.

GRILLED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil grate.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in lemon juice and salt. Place scallops in a large bowl, and toss with butter mixture. Let stand for about 2 minutes.
• Thread scallops onto skewers, or use a wire grill basket. Cook on preheated grill for about 4 minutes per side.
• Return butter mixture to saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and keep warm while scallops cook. Toss with grilled scallops and serve.

GRILLED SEA SCALLOPS (SIGN OF THE DOVE)

Steps:

• Preheat grill or broiler.
• Bring stock to boil in a saucepan; whisk in butter bit by bit.
• Add mushrooms and thyme and reduce stock by half.
• Add greens and simmer until greens are wilted.
• Season scallops with salt and pepper and brush with oil. Grill or broil just until done, 2 to 4 minutes, depending on size of scallops.
• Remove greens and mushrooms from stock and arrange on four salad-size plates and keep warm. Consistency of stock will depend on how much water the greens gave off. For a lightly thickened stock, you may need to reduce the mixture more.
• Arrange scallops on greens, slicing large scallops, and finish with thickened stock.

GRILLED GARLIC PARMESAN CRUSTED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic salt, and black pepper together in a bowl.
• Pour olive oil into a shallow bowl.
• Rinse scallops under cold water, then dip into the olive oil.
• Press scallops into bread crumb mixture. Gently toss between your hands so any bread crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place the breaded scallops onto a plate while breading the rest.
• Place the scallops in the refrigerator to allow the breading to set, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Brush the scallops lightly with more olive oil.
• Grill on the preheated grill until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes.

• Remove from heat, add egg and lemon juice.
• Stir well, and serve hot over rice, or leave to cool and make into pies.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH JAMMY CHERRY TOMATOES

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.
