SCALLOPS IN CREAM SAUCE WITH SPINACH FETTUCCINE



Scallops in Cream Sauce With Spinach Fettuccine image

This sounds really good. From the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute. ETA: I finally made this and liked it. I made 2 appetizer servings, then discovered that my grandson doesn't like scallops, lol. I thought that the first serving I made was a tad bland. So took my grandson's portion and played with it a little bit. I added some gruyere cheese, a little fresh tarragon and a dash of nutmeg and really liked these additions.

Tips:

  • Buy fresh, high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are plump and have a slightly sweet smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Properly clean the scallops. Before cooking, remove the tough outer muscle from the side of each scallop. This will help to ensure that the scallops cook evenly and have a tender texture.
  • Sear the scallops over high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the scallops while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Do not overcook the scallops. Scallops cook very quickly, so it is important to watch them carefully to avoid overcooking them. Overcooked scallops will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your dish. This will add flavor, color, and texture to your meal. Some good options include spinach, red bell pepper, and zucchini.
  • Make sure to season your dish to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
