SEARED SCALLOPS WITH BACON, TARRAGON AND LEMON



Seared Scallops with Bacon, Tarragon and Lemon image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (1-ounce) slice bacon, cut crosswise into thin pieces
8 (1-inch) sea scallops, foot removed, if necessary, and patted dry
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup dry white vermouth
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat until crisp but not dry and drain on a piece of paper towel. Leave 1 tablespoon of the drippings in the pan (there probably won't be much more than that, but discard any extra if there is).
  • Season the scallops with salt and pepper, to taste. Increase the heat under the skillet to medium-high, add the butter, and sear the scallops until brown and glossy, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the scallops to a plate and set aside.
  • Remove pan from heat and add the vermouth and lemon juice. Now return the skillet to the heat and stir with a wooden spoon to scrape up the brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Stir in the water.
  • While the sauce reduces, slice the scallops in half vertically. Slip them into the reduced sauce with the tarragon, parsley, and bacon bits and give the skillet a swirl to bring everything together. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if desired. Divide the scallops with their sauce among small plates or Asian soup spoons and serve immediately.
