Categories     Sauté     Low Fat     Quick & Easy     Low Cal     Basil     Scallop     Bell Pepper     Healthy     Gourmet     Maryland

Yield Serves 4 to 6 as a first course

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large green bell peppers, sliced thin
2 large yellow bell peppers, sliced thin
2 large red bell peppers, sliced thin
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1/2 pound bay scallops, rinsed and patted dry
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil leaves or 1 tablespoon crumbled dry

Steps:

  • In a large skillet heat the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sauté the bell peppers, stirring for 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook the mixture for 1 minute. Add the scallops, the basil, and the black pepper to taste and cook the mixture, covered, over moderate heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the scallops are cooked through.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are firm and plump, with a slightly briny smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Sear the scallops properly. Searing the scallops in a hot pan will help to create a nice crust and prevent them from becoming rubbery. Be sure to sear the scallops for only 1-2 minutes per side, or until they are just cooked through.
  • Use a flavorful sauce. The black bean sauce in this recipe is a great way to add flavor and complexity to the dish. You can also use other sauces, such as a white wine sauce or a lemon-butter sauce.
  • Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to ensure that they are tender and juicy.

Conclusion:

Scallops and peppers with black bean sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The scallops are seared until golden brown and then simmered in a flavorful black bean sauce. The peppers add a nice sweetness and crunch to the dish. This dish can be served over rice or noodles, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
