SCALLOPS IN GARLIC CREAM SAUCE



Scallops in Garlic Cream Sauce image

I didn't really get this recipe from anyone, it's just (for as long as I can remember) one of the basic ways that I have always prepared scallops. It's easy, quick to prepare and the sauce really complements the scallops. I've prepared this with and without the wine (on those rare occasions when I happened to be out of my favorite white wine), and it is just as delicious either way. That's why I listed that ingredient as optional.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH PAN SAUCE



Seared Scallops With Pan Sauce image

Seven ingredients and one skillet lead the way to home cooking that's as good as anything you'll eat in restaurants.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Scallop     Butter     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Chive     White Wine

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 pounds sea scallops
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup dry white wine or water, or more as needed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Cut 2 tablespoons of the butter into pea-sized pieces, put it on a small plate, and stick it in the freezer. Heat a large skillet over medium-heat high for 3 or 4 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and the olive oil and wait for the butter to melt.
  • Pat the scallops dry with paper towels, add them to the pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper; work in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the skillet. Cook, turning once, until they are well browned on both sides but not quite cooked through, 2 minutes per side (less if the scallops are under 1 inch across; more if they're over). Transfer the scallops to a plate.
  • Stir in the garlic, lemon juice, and wine and scrape all the brown bits off the bottom of the skillet with a spatula. Lower the heat to medium and cook until the liquid in the skillet thickens, a minute or two, then whisk in the butter you chilled in the freezer, one bit at a time, to make a creamy sauce, adding another tablespoon or two of liquid if necessary.
  • Return the scallops to the skillet and add the chives. Adjust the heat so the sauce bubbles gently and toss to coat the scallops with the sauce. To serve, transfer the scallops to a platter and spoon the sauce over all.
  • Variation:
  • Seared Scallops With Cherry Tomatoes and Basil: Skip the lemon juice. Cut 1 pint cherry tomatoes in half. Add the tomatoes with the garlic and wine and cook until they wrinkle a bit and release their juice, 2 or 3 minutes. Use chopped fresh basil leaves instead of chives.
  • Cooks' Notes
  • Releasing From The Pan: The scallops will offer no resistance when they're ready to turn. Press down gently while the scallops cook to encourage full contact with the pan, then listen for a hiss: That's moisture heating and evaporating.
  • Getting A Good Sear: The idea is to brown the scallops well on both sides without overcooking them, so keep the heat as high as you can without creating too much smoke.
  • Building Sauce With Butter: After you add the liquid and deglaze the pan, the addition of butter develops fantastic creaminess and richness.
  • Finishing The Dish: As soon as the scallops are cooked through completely and coated with the sauce, remove the pan from the heat; they will continue to cook. Nick-and-peek into one if you need to check for doneness.

Time 14m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 large sea scallops
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
½ stick unsalted butter, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 shallots, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
¼ cup caper, drained and rinsed

Steps:

Tips:

  • Select fresh scallops. Look for scallops that are plump and have a slightly briny smell. Avoid any scallops that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Clean the scallops properly. Before cooking, remove the small muscle from the side of each scallop. You can also rinse the scallops under cold water to remove any grit or sand.
  • Use a good quality white wine. The wine you use will contribute to the flavor of the sauce, so choose a wine that you enjoy drinking.
  • Don't overcook the scallops. Scallops are delicate and can easily become tough if they are overcooked. Cook them until they are just opaque and slightly firm to the touch.
  • Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best served hot, so serve them as soon as they are cooked.

Conclusion:

Scallops in white sauce is a classic dish that is both delicious and easy to prepare. By following these tips, you can make sure that your scallops are perfectly cooked and that the sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal.
