SCALLOPS PROVENCAL
Steps:
- If you're using bay scallops, keep them whole. If you're using sea scallops, cut each 1 in half horizontally. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, toss with flour, and shake off the excess.
- In a very large saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter over high heat until sizzling and add the scallops in 1 layer. Lower the heat to medium and allow the scallops to brown lightly on 1 side without moving them, then turn and brown lightly on the other side. This should take 3 to 4 minutes, total. Melt the rest of the butter in the pan with the scallops, then add the shallots, garlic, and parsley and saute for 2 more minutes, tossing the seasonings with the scallops. Add the wine, cook for 1 minute, and taste for seasoning. Serve hot with a squeeze of lemon juice.
SPICY ORANGE-GLAZED SCALLOPS
Steps:
- Cook shallots and zest in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat until they begin to brown. Add orange juice, broth, wine and habanero slices. Cook over high heat to reduce. Taste often and remove and discard habaneros when desired heat is achieved. When habaneros are removed, add the liqueur.
- Brush scallops with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Sear scallops on a grill pan to a slightly under-cooked state, about 3 1/2 minutes per side but watch them closely. Remove from grill pan and add scallops to the thickened orange glaze, tossing to coat well until scallops are cooked to desired doneness.
- Smear a clean plate with orange glaze top with 3 scallops. Drizzle scallops with more glaze and garnish with chives and orange slice.
GRAND MARNIER SOUFFLé
This version of the classic French dessert is an adaptation of one attributed to Jean-Jacques Rachou, a former owner and chef of La Côte Basque, a restaurant The Times once called "the high-society temple of classic French cuisine." These acclaimed soufflés were a specialty at the restaurant, which closed its doors in 2004, after 45 years of serving guests like Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Babe Paley and Frank Sinatra. Done right, they are airy, perfectly textured and deftly sweetened. The key is the density of the egg whites; they must be whipped until the peaks are firm but not too full of air.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Rub the butter on the bottom and sides of four 1-cup souffle dishes. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar over the insides of the souffle dishes.
- Place the egg yolks in a bowl and add 1/2 cup sugar, the orange rind and the Grand Marnier. Beat briskly until well blended.
- In a large, deep bowl, preferably copper, beat the egg whites until stiff. Toward the end, beat in the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. (You can use an electric stand mixer, but keep an eye on the egg whites. They should not be too stiff.)
- Spoon the egg-yolk mixture into the whites, folding in rapidly. Place equal portions of the mixture in the prepared souffle dishes.
- Put the dishes on a baking sheet, and place on the bottom of the oven. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Heat 3 tablespoons oil in large skillet over high heat. Sprinkle scallops with pepper blend and salt. Working in batches, add scallops to skillet in single layer; sauté until brown on outside and just opaque in center, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer scallops to plate, leaving drippings in pan.
- Add garlic and remaining oil to drippings in skillet; stir 30 seconds. Add orange juice, soy sauce, and orange peel. Boil until sauce thickens to syrup, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes.
- Pour sauce over scallops and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh scallops. Fresh scallops have a sweet, delicate flavor that is perfect for this dish. If you can't find fresh scallops, you can use frozen scallops, but be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
- Sear the scallops properly. Searing the scallops in butter or oil helps to create a golden brown crust and lock in the flavor. Be sure to sear the scallops for only 1-2 minutes per side, or they will become tough.
- Use a good quality Grand Marnier. Grand Marnier is a type of orange liqueur that adds a sweet, citrusy flavor to the dish. Be sure to use a good quality Grand Marnier, as it will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
- Don't overcook the sauce. The sauce should be cooked for just a few minutes, or it will become thick and syrupy. Be sure to remove the sauce from the heat as soon as it has thickened.
- Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best served immediately after they are cooked. This is when they are at their most tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Scallops with Grand Marnier is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The scallops are seared to perfection and then finished with a sweet and citrusy Grand Marnier sauce. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
