SAUTéED SCALLOPS



Sautéed Scallops image

Sea scallops and bay scallops differ in size and sweetness. They also cook a little differently. I love a good hard sear on a sea scallop, a little crust, and a splash of wine in the butter at the end to provide a silky acidity against the sweet of the meat. For the tiny, sweet bay scallop, though, I prefer a gentle butter bath. Whichever you cook, be very careful not to overcook. Indeed, there is almost no such thing as an undercooked scallop.

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound sea scallops, patted dry
Kosher salt, to taste
1 tablespoon dry white vermouth or white wine
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place a large sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat, and add to it 3 tablespoons of the butter. When it has melted and started to foam, place the scallops in the pan in a single layer, and season with a pinch or two of salt.
  • Cook scallops without moving until the bottoms are golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes, then turn them over, add the wine and cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes.

Provided by mama smurf

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup sun-dried tomato, chopped dry-packed
1 bunch fresh basil
2/3 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
3 zucchini, cut into thin strips
1 tomatoes, diced
salt and pepper
10 sea scallops

Steps:

  • If the sun-dried tomatoes are moist, dry in a 200 degree oven for about 15 minutes, until dry.
  • Grind the sun-dried tomatoes in a blender until they became a smooth powder; remove from the blender and set aside.
  • Add the basil (reserve 2 sprigs for garnish), orange juice, and lemon juice to the blender. Blend on medium speed while drizzling 1/4 cup of the olive oil into the mixture.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat; add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the garlic. Saute the garlic for 15 seconds (do not burn), then add the zucchini. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes or until the zucchini softens. Season with salt and pepper. Add the tomato, then take off the heat.
  • Heat another nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the scallops with salt and pepper and all but 1 teaspoon of the reserved sun-dried tomato powder. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan and add the scallops slowly to prevent spattering.
  • Cook for about 3 minutes, then flip to the other side. Let cook for another 2 minutes; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • To serve, mound the zucchini mixture in the middle of two dinner plates. Place 5 scallops around each mound. Drizzle the vinaigrette around the dish. Garnish with basil sprig and a sprinkling of tomato powder.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients beforehand: This recipe comes together quickly, so having everything prepped and ready to go is essential.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Scallops tend to release a lot of liquid as they cook, so it's important not to overcrowd the pan. Otherwise, they'll steam instead of sauté and won't get that nice caramelized crust.
  • Cook the scallops in batches if necessary: If you have a lot of scallops to cook, you may need to do it in batches. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Don't overcook the scallops: Scallops are very delicate and can quickly become rubbery if overcooked. Cook them for just a few minutes per side, or until they're opaque and cooked through but still slightly tender.
  • Serve the scallops immediately: Scallops are best served immediately after cooking. They can be served as an appetizer or main course, and they pair well with a variety of sides, such as rice, pasta, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Sautéed scallops with sun-dried tomatoes is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The scallops are cooked to perfection and paired with a flavorful sauce made with sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and white wine. This dish is sure to impress your friends and family.
