Sauteed Sea Scallops With Tomatoes and Zucchini image

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 pounds sea scallops
3 small zucchini, about 1/2 pound
4 small, ripe plum tomatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary, or 1 teaspoon dried
4 tablespoons coarsely chopped basil or parsley

Steps:

  • Halve each scallop crosswise, if 3/4 inch thick or more. Set aside.
  • Trim the ends of the zucchini, and cut them into 1/8-inch slices.
  • Drop the tomatoes into boiling water for about 10 seconds to loosen the skins. Remove skins and chop the tomatoes coarsely.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add the zucchini, salt and pepper. Cook about 2 minutes over high heat, stirring and tossing. Remove the zucchini to a plate, and keep them warm.
  • In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over high heat and saute the scallops about a minute. Season with salt and pepper while stirring and tossing.
  • Add the butter, shallots and garlic. Cook briefly, add the tomatoes, and cook for a minute more. Add the zucchini, lemon juice and rosemary. Cook, stirring and tossing, for a minute over high heat. Blend well. Sprinkle with basil, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Fresh scallops, zucchini, tomatoes, and herbs will give you the best results.
  • Cook the scallops properly: Scallops are delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook them over high heat for a short amount of time, until they are just opaque and cooked through.
  • Don't crowd the pan: When cooking the scallops, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause them to steam instead of sear.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish. Use a good quality oil that has a fruity, peppery flavor.
  • Add the tomatoes and zucchini last: The tomatoes and zucchini will cook quickly, so add them to the pan last.
  • Season to taste: Season the dish with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked.

Conclusion:

This pasta with scallops, zucchini, and tomatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The scallops are cooked to perfection, the zucchini and tomatoes are fresh and flavorful, and the sauce is light and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
