Provided by Sara Quessenberry

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 slices bacon, cut into small dice
1.5 pounds sea scallops (about 16), patted dry
kosher salt and black pepper
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced into half-moons
0.5 pound Yukon gold potatoes, peeled (if desired) and cut into a 1/2-inch dice
0.5 cup dry white wine
1 cup chicken broth
0.5 cup heavy cream
1 cup corn kernels, fresh (from 2 ears) or frozen
0.25 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
  • You should have about 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings; if necessary, supplement with olive oil. Increase heat to medium-high. Season scallops with ¾ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper; cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add the onion to the drippings in the skillet and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes, wine, broth, and cream; cover partially and reduce heat. Simmer gently until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Add the scallops and corn and simmer gently to heat through. Sprinkle with the parsley and bacon.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH A CORN, BACON AND AVOCADO RELISH



Seared Scallops with a Corn, Bacon and Avocado Relish image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for oiling pan
16 dry sea scallops
2 avocados
12 strips bacon, cooked and chopped
1 lemon, halved
4 ears corn, shucked
1 medium onion
1 red bell pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Take a small bowl and place it upside-down inside a large bowl. (This will provide a small stand for your corn, making it easier to remove the kernels, and the large bowl will catch them as the fall, avoiding a mess.) Using a knife, remove the kernels from the corn, letting them fall into the bowl.
  • Dice the onion and red bell pepper and add them to the bowl with the corn. Add 1 tablespoon of the chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper. Mix to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  • Set a pan over medium heat and add some oil. Add the corn mixture to the pan and cook until the onions begin to soften, tossing occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • Sprinkle the sea scallops with salt and pepper. Set a pan over medium-high heat and add some oil. Add the scallops and sear until golden in color, about 1 minute on each side. Remove from the heat and let rest.
  • Dice the avocados and add them to the corn relish along with the chopped bacon. Season with salt and pepper and mix together.
  • Evenly distribute the relish among 4 plates and top each with 4 scallops. Garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley and a squeeze of lemon.

Chef John's Bay Scallop Chowder image

Every once in a while I make a dish that no matter how great it tastes, I just can't get past how it looks, and that was the case with this very easy, incredibly delicious scallop chowder.

SCALLOP, CORN AND BACON CHOWDER



Scallop, Corn and Bacon Chowder image

This is wonderful for any occasion. I even make this during the summer, when its 95 degrees out! You can purchase the Bay Scallops frozen or fresh..I prefer fresh but either is great! In case you don't know.. Bay Scallops are small and Sea Scallops are the large ones. Both can be used for thi soup but the Sea scallops are more beneficial to the soup.

BAY SCALLOP CHOWDER WITH BACON AND CABBAGE



Bay Scallop Chowder with Bacon and Cabbage image

Provided by Food Network

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 13

4-ounce slab (unsliced) smoked bacon, rind removed, small dice (1/3-inch)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion (10 to 12 ounces), large dice (3/4-inch)
2 to 3 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves chopped (1 teaspoon)
1 dried bay leaf
1 1/2 pounds Yukon gold, Maine, PEI or other all-purpose potato, peeled, large dice (3/4-inch)
5 cups fish stock, chicken stock, or either in combination with water to make 5 cups total liquid
8 ounces Savoy cabbage, large dice (3/4-inch)
Kosher or sea salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds medium bay scallops-left whole, or large sea scallops, cut down to large (3/4-inch) pieces, strap removed
1 1/2 cups heavy cream (up to 2 cups)
2 or 3 scallions, very thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Heat a 6 or 8-quart heavy bottomed soup or sauce pot over a low heat and add the bacon. Once it has rendered a few tablespoons of fat, increase the heat to medium and cook the bacon until crisp golden brown. Leave the bacon pieces and the fat in the pan. Add the butter, onion, thyme and bay leaf. Saute them for about 8 minutes over a medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, but not browned. Add the potatoes and fish stock. The stock should just barely cover the potatoes. If it doesn't add enough water to cover them. Turn up the heat and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and cook the potatoes vigorously for about 8 minutes. Add the diced cabbage, reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 5 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. The potatoes should be firm in the center and soft on the outside. If the broth hasn't thickened, lightly smash a few potatoes against the side of the pot and simmer 1 or 2 minutes longer to release their starches. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the scallops and let sit for 5 minutes. Add the cream and let sit 10 more minutes while the scallops finish their slow cooking. Retaste the chowder and adjust the salt and pepper. If you are not serving the chowder within the hour, let it cool a bit then refrigerate. Cover the chowder after it has completely chilled. Otherwise, let it sit for up to an hour, allowing the flavors to meld. When ready to serve, reheat over a low heat and don't let the chowder boil. Use a slotted spoon to mound the pieces of scallop, potato, cabbage and bacon in the center of large soup plates or shallow bowls and ladle the creamy broth around. Sprinkle generously with sliced scallions.

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: Use fresh scallops for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh scallops, frozen scallops will work as well. Just be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Cook the scallops properly: Scallops are very delicate, so it's important to cook them quickly over high heat. Otherwise, they will become tough and rubbery.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the scallops, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Add the corn and bacon at the end: The corn and bacon should be added to the chowder towards the end of the cooking process. This will prevent them from becoming overcooked.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to season the chowder to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.

Conclusion:

Scallop corn and bacon chowder is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. The scallops are tender and flavorful, the corn is sweet and crisp, and the bacon adds a smoky flavor. This chowder is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
