Scallops are a type of seafood that is often enjoyed for its delicate flavor and tender texture. They can be prepared in a variety of ways, but one of the most popular is to cook them with a chipotle orange sauce. This sauce is made with a combination of chipotle peppers, oranges, and other spices, and it gives the scallops a slightly spicy and tangy flavor. The combination of the sweet orange and the smoky chipotle peppers creates a complex and delicious sauce that is perfect for pairing with seafood.

SCALLOPS WITH CARAMEL-ORANGE SAUCE



Scallops With Caramel-Orange Sauce image

This recipe is so much more than the sum of its parts! Truly awesome! From "Around My French Table" by Dorie Greenspan I have made this recipe using large shrimp, as scallops are hard to come by here. This serves 4 as an appetizer, 2 as a main.

Provided by evelynathens

Categories     European

Time 20m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 large orange, juice of (generous 1/3 cup)
1 lb sea scallops (I use large shrimp)
1/2-1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and fresh ground white pepper
1 tablespoon cold butter, cut into 3 pieces

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the sugar into a small saucepan. Place the pan over medium-high heat and warm the sugar until it starts to melt and color. As soon as you see it turn brown, begin to gently swirl the pan. When the sugar has turned a deep caramel color (you can put a drop of sugar on a white plate to test the color), about 3 minutes, stand back and add the white wine and orange juice. It may bubble and spatter, so watch out. Turn the heat up to high, stir with a wooden spoon, and boil the sauce until it is reduced by half - you should have about 1/3 cup. Pull the pan from the heat and set it aside. (You can make the sauce up to 2 days ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator.).
  • Pat the scallops dry between two paper towels. Slice or pull off the little muscle attached to the sides of the scallops. Have a warm serving platter and a small strainer at the ready.
  • Put the saucepan with the caramel sauce over very low heat so that it can warm while you cook the scallops.
  • Put a heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. When the pan is hot, pour in 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add the scallops, season them with salt and pepper, add a little more oil if needed, and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until the scallops are firm on the outside and just barely opaque in the center - nick one to test. Transfer the scallops to the serving platter.
  • Check that the caramel sauce is hot - give it more heat if necessary. Pull the pan from the heat and toss in the butter, bit by bit, swirling the pan until the butter is melted and the sauce is glistening. Season the sauce with salt and pepper, then pour through the strainer into a sauceboat or pitcher. Drizzle some of the sauce over the scallops and pass the rest at the table.
  • Note: For even better flavour in the sauce (imo), use the juice of a Seville Orange if you can access.

1 pinch sea salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 oranges, peeled and cut in between sections as segments

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality scallops. Fresh scallops should be firm and plump, with a slightly sweet smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Sear the scallops properly. Searing the scallops creates a beautiful crust and helps to lock in their natural juices. Make sure your skillet is hot before adding the scallops, and sear them for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Don't overcook the scallops. Scallops are very delicate and can easily become overcooked. Overcooked scallops will be tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are opaque in the center, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Make sure the sauce is flavorful. The sauce is what really makes this dish special. Make sure it is well-seasoned and has a good balance of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors.
  • Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Scallops with Chipotle Orange Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The combination of seared scallops, sweet and spicy sauce, and fresh citrus is sure to impress your taste buds. So next time you're looking for a seafood dish that is both elegant and flavorful, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
