Categories     appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons salted capers
1 medium red onion
Peanut or vegetable oil for deep frying
Flour for dredging
16 large sea scallops (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 to 5 large ripe tomatoes, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 clove garlic, minced (green part removed)
1 to 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (to taste)
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Soak capers in water to cover for 10 minutes. Rinse under cold running water and pat dry. Slice onion in rings one-fourth-inch thick. Separate rings.
  • Heat enough peanut or vegetable oil to come one-fourth of the way up the side of a deep fryer. Lightly dredge the onions in the flour and place in a frying basket. Deep-fry until golden. Drain on paper towels. Dredge the capers with the flour, deep fry and remove with a slotted spoon when golden. Drain on paper towels.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb large scallop
1 1/2 ounces olive oil
salt and pepper
1 cup orange juice
2/3 cup orange juice concentrate
2 tablespoons olive oil
12 large shallots, peeled
1 1/2 ounces sherry wine vinegar
2 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Dry scallops well and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in large saute pan until smoking then add the scallops.
  • Don't overcrowd them.
  • Brown well.
  • Let cook over medium high heat until done, about 5-8 minutes.
  • Keep Warm.
  • In non-aluminum pan bring orange juice and concentrate to boil.
  • Lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Set aside.
  • In a saute pan, heat olive oil until almost smoking.
  • Add the shallots, browning them well on all sides.
  • Add orange juice mixture and chicken stock, cover.
  • Let simmer over moderate heat until shallots are nearly cooked through.
  • Remove shallots and let the remaining liquid reduce uncovered to about one cup.
  • Swirl in butter and serve immediately over shallots and scallops.

Tips:

  • Use fresh scallops. Fresh scallops have a sweet, briny flavor and a firm texture. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong fishy smell.
  • Pat the scallops dry before cooking. This will help them sear better and prevent them from steaming.
  • Season the scallops with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help enhance their natural flavor.
  • Sear the scallops in a hot skillet with olive oil. This will create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Cook the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and cooked through. Do not overcook the scallops, or they will become tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the scallops immediately with your favorite sides. They are delicious with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Pan-seared scallops are a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and impressive meal that your friends and family will love. So next time you're looking for a seafood dish that is both elegant and easy to make, give pan-seared scallops a try. You won't be disappointed!
