SCAMPI-STYLE SCALLOPS OVER LINGUINE



Scampi-Style Scallops Over Linguine image

I love scallops, particularly bay scallops. This is a quick and easy way I've found to prepare them. It has become a regular at my house. If you prefer a thicker sauce, make a slurry out of a teaspoon water mixed with a teaspoon of cornstarch and stir into the boiling liquid to tighten it up. Serve with crusty bread for an easy weeknight meal.

Time 40m

Yield 4

1 (16 ounce) package linguine
1 (2 ounce) can anchovy fillets with oil
½ onion, minced
¾ cup chicken stock
¼ cup white wine
1 teaspoon minced garlic
½ teaspoon dried parsley
⅛ teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)

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 linguine, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the anchovies with the oil in the skillet until the anchovies melt into the oil, about 2 minutes; add the onion and cook until translucent, 3 to five minutes.

Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until the scallops are opaque, about 7 minutes. Serve over the cooked linguine.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH BASIL, ANCHOVY & SWEET CORN PUDDING



Seared Scallops With Basil, Anchovy & Sweet Corn Pudding image

The quality of the fresh seafood is key in this lemony, piquant dish. April Bloomfield recommends seeking out day-boat scallops, caught by fishermen who return from a day at sea with supremely fresh scallops that haven't been treated with any kind of preservative. If you can't get the "just-caught" make sure they are of a coral-color instead of a milky-white. Chef Alice Bloomfield - From Pairing of the Day: July 2008, Published 2007. Wine Chardonnays from California's Carneros region are known for their lemon cream and fruit notes, a nice echo for these scallops. Two good Carneros bottlings are the melon-tinged 2005 St. Clement and the tropical-fruited 2005 Rombauer.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 2/3 cups corn kernels (cut from 4 ears of corn)
2/3 cup whole milk
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes (take it easy if adding more)
2 large eggs, separated
3 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
16 sea scallops (about 1 pound)
salt (easy on the salt)
white pepper
4 anchovy fillets, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons water
1/3 cup chopped basil or 1 tablespoon italian seasoning
2 cups pea shoots (1 ounce)

Steps:

  • MAKE THE CORN PUDDING:
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Butter four 1-cup ramekins.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the corn, milk and heavy cream and simmer over moderately high heat for 2 minutes.
  • Puree half of the mixture in a blender.
  • Return the puree to the saucepan.
  • In another medium saucepan, melt the butter.
  • Add the flour and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, for 1 minute.
  • Gradually whisk in the corn mixture and bring to a boil, then simmer, whisking, for 1 minute; season with salt.
  • Remove from the heat and whisk in the egg yolks.
  • Let cool until warm, about 20 minutes.
  • In a large, stainless steel bowl, using a handheld mixer, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until firm peaks form.
  • Fold one-third of the beaten whites into the corn mixture, then fold in the remaining whites.
  • Spoon the mixture into the ramekins.
  • Set the ramekins in a small baking dish and carefully add enough water to the dish to reach one-third of the way up the sides of the ramekins.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes, until the puddings are just slightly jiggly in the center.
  • MEANWHILE, PREPARE THE SCALLOPS:
  • In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil until smoking.
  • Season the scallops with salt, & white pepper, add them to the skillet and cook over high heat until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
  • Turn and cook the scallops for 1 minute longer.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the scallops to a large plate.
  • Add the anchovies to the skillet and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until they dissolve, about 2 minutes.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and the water to the skillet and simmer until thickened, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan, about 1 minute.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • Stir in the basil or Italian seasoning and any accumulated juices from the scallops.
  • Season with salt & white pepper.
  • Return the scallops to the skillet and keep warm.
  • In a bowl, toss the pea shoots with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice; season with salt.
  • Arrange the scallops on 4 plates and pour the basil-anchovy sauce on top.
  • Mound the pea shoot salad alongside and serve with the corn puddings.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are plump, opaque, and have a slightly sweet smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or discolored.
  • Soak the scallops in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove any grit or sand from the scallops.
  • Pat the scallops dry before cooking. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Season the scallops with salt and pepper before cooking. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, paprika, or chili powder.
  • Cook the scallops over medium-high heat. This will help to sear the outside of the scallops while keeping the inside tender.
  • Do not overcook the scallops. Overcooked scallops will be tough and chewy. Cook them for just 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and cooked through.
  • Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best served hot, so serve them as soon as they are cooked.

Conclusion:

Scallops are a delicious and versatile seafood that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you are searing them, grilling them, or baking them, scallops are sure to please everyone at the table. With their delicate flavor and tender texture, scallops are a perfect addition to any meal.
