Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 pounds fresh sea scallops, cut in half if large
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup flour for dredging
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
2 cups diced fresh, ripe tomatoes, peeled and seeded
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup coarsely chopped basil leaves or parsley

Steps:

  • Place the scallops in a bowl, and add the milk. Stir to coat, and let stand briefly.
  • Place the flour in a flat dish. Add salt and pepper; blend well. Drain the scallops, and dredge them in the flour mixture. Place the flour-coated scallops in a large sieve. Shake to remove any excess flour. Scatter the scallops onto a sheet of foil or wax paper so that they do not touch, or they may stick together.
  • Heat the olive oil in a saucepan. Add the garlic, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Add the vinegar, and bring to a sizzle. Simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Heat the vegetable oil over high heat in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the scallops in one layer. Add the scallops, and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Spoon equal portions of the scallops onto warm plates, and pour some of the tomato sauce over each portion. Sprinkle each with an equal amount of chopped basil or parsley, and serve with noodles.

CREAMY PAN-ROASTED SCALLOPS WITH FRESH TOMATOES



Creamy Pan-Roasted Scallops With Fresh Tomatoes image

In this homage to a classic dish at Grand Central Oyster Bar in New York, scallops are quickly poached in a creamy, piquant tomato sauce that's spiked with Worcestershire and celery seed. If you want to work a little ahead, you can make the sauce through Step 2, and leave it in the pan, covered for an hour or two. Reheat it before adding the scallops in Step 3. Then serve the scallops right away, with some bread or rice to soak up every last drop of the herby, savory sauce.

Categories     seafood, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup thinly sliced shallots or red onion
Pinch of celery seeds
Salt and black pepper
2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
2/3 cup dry white vermouth, dry white wine or clam juice
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 cup heavy cream
2 pounds sea scallops, patted dry
1/2 cup chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup chopped celery leaves or parsley leaves, or a combination, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add the butter, letting it melt. Add shallots, celery seeds and a pinch each salt and pepper, and cook until the shallots are tender and opaque, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook until jammy, 9 to 13 minutes.
  • Increase heat to medium-high and stir in vermouth. Cook until about a third of the liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add Worcestershire and cream, and simmer, reducing heat if needed and stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens enough to coat a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Season scallops with salt and pepper, and add to the pan. Cook, uncovered, until scallops are just cooked through and opaque, 3 to 6 minutes, depending on the size of the scallops. Stir in chives and celery leaves. Serve immediately, garnished with more chives and celery leaves.

CREAMY BAY SCALLOP SPAGHETTI



Creamy Bay Scallop Spaghetti image

This scallop and spaghetti dinner with a creamy sauce is fast and easy. I cook the scallops a bit longer than many chefs, but that's gives the dish more flavor and they're still tender and moist. I think you'll agree, the sherry sauce benefits significantly from the longer cook time.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Scallops

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounces uncooked thick spaghetti
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound bay scallops
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1 pinch red pepper flakes
⅓ cup dry sherry
1 cup heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley, divided
Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes or 1 minute less than directed on the package.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. When oil just starts to smoke, add scallops and move them into a single layer. Let sear on high for 60 seconds. Toss to turn. Add butter and stir scallops until butter melts. Stir in garlic. Add lemon zest and red pepper flakes. Stir in sherry and cook and stir until alcohol cooks off, about 1 minute. Pour in cream. When mixture begins to simmer, reduce heat to medium-low. Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice.

SAVORY SEA SCALLOPS AND ANGEL HAIR PASTA



Savory Sea Scallops and Angel Hair Pasta image

This is a very simple, easy to prepare meal that you will most likely be asked to prepare again. The taste, if carefully prepared and not overcooked, is incredible. ENJOY!

Provided by JIM F.

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Scallops

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
¼ cup butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds sea scallops, rinsed and patted dry
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese to taste

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the angel hair pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and cook just until fragrant and softened, about 1 minute. Slice any scallops over 3/4-inch thick in half so they'll cook evenly; stir scallops, basil, and parsley into the skillet. Cook and gently stir just until scallops feel slightly firm when pressed with a finger, 2 to 3 minutes. Scallops will become tough and chewy if overcooked. Stir in lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper. Pour in cream if you like a thicker sauce. Bring the mixture just to a bare simmer.
  • Serve over hot angel hair pasta; sprinkle to taste with Parmesan cheese.

PASTA WITH SCALLOPS, GARLIC, GRAPE TOMATOES, AND PARSLEY



Pasta with Scallops, Garlic, Grape Tomatoes, and Parsley image

This simple, but satisfying, Pasta with Scallops, Garlic, Grape Tomatoes, and Parsley dish is colorful and easy to prepare.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

Coarse salt
1 pound linguine or spaghetti
5 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
1 pound bay or sea scallops, tough muscles removed
1 pint container ripe grape tomatoes
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Bring a large stockpot of water to a boil, and add salt generously. Add pasta; cook until al dente according to package instructions. Drain in a colander, reserving 1/4 cup cooking water.
  • Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and red-pepper flakes; toast until lightly golden and fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer garlic to a small bowl; set aside
  • Add scallops to pan (if using sea scallops, cut in half); saute until opaque, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, and cook, stirring frequently, until the skins begin to split, 2 to 3 minutes; crush a few with the back of the spoon. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
  • Add pasta, parsley, reserved cooking water, and butter; toss to combine. Divide among bowls, and serve immediately; garnish with reserved garlic and parsley.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe tomatoes. If tomatoes are out of season, you can substitute a can of diced tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well before using.
  • To make the sauce extra creamy, use heavy cream instead of milk. You can also add a tablespoon of butter for a richer flavor.
  • If you don't have white wine, you can use chicken broth or water instead. However, the white wine adds a nice depth of flavor to the sauce.
  • Be sure to cook the scallops until they are just cooked through. Overcooked scallops will become tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the scallops and pasta immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or basil.

Conclusion:

This scallop and pasta dish is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The scallops are cooked to perfection in a creamy tomato sauce, and the pasta is cooked al dente. The dish is then garnished with fresh parsley or basil, which adds a pop of color and flavor.
