WW GARLICKY LEMON SCALLOPS 4-POINTS



Ww Garlicky Lemon Scallops 4-Points image

From the Weight Watchers cookbook called "Cook it Quick" Make sure to pat the scallops dry before you mix them with the flour and salt. That way they won't soak up too much flour. You can substitute smaller Scallops just make sure you adjust the cooking time. You don't want to overcook them or they will become tough and rubbery. I like to serve this with recipe #272832.

SAUTEED SEA SCALLOPS WITH SHALLOTS



Sauteed Sea Scallops with Shallots image

My family loves scallops and I like using sea scallops because they are generally more available and less expensive than the smaller bay scallops. A simple test for freshness, a very mild, sweet scent and a translucent, almost white color.

Time 26m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 1/2 lbs sea scallops
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons butter
3 tablespoons shallots, minced
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
lemon wedge (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Sprinkle scallops with salt and pepper. Add scallops to pan and saute 2 minutes on each side. Remove scallops from pan and keep warm.
  • Melt butter in pan. Add shallots and garlic; saute 30 seconds. Add wine and juice; cook 1 minute. Return scallops to pan; toss to coat. Remove from heat; sprinkle with parsley. Serve with lemon wedges if desired.

Tips:

  • Prep Ahead: Save time by prepping your ingredients in advance. Dice the shallots and mince the garlic the night before and store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
  • Choose the Right Scallops: Opt for large scallops (U-10 or U-12) for this recipe. They'll hold up better during cooking and provide a more satisfying bite.
  • Sear the Scallops Properly: Sear the scallops in a single layer in a hot skillet to ensure even cooking. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the scallops will steam instead of sear.
  • Use Low-Sodium Soy Sauce: If you're watching your sodium intake, be sure to use low-sodium soy sauce in the marinade and sauce.
  • Adjust the Spice Level: This recipe calls for red pepper flakes for a bit of heat. Adjust the amount you use depending on your preference.
  • Serve Immediately: Serve the scallops immediately after cooking to enjoy them at their best.
