Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 scallions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
3 scallions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1 cup white rice
1 bay leaf
Kosher salt
4 cups frozen chopped greens, such as collards and/or kale (about 10 ounces), thawed and squeezed dry
1 pound medium sea scallops (about 20), "foot" muscles removed
1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the scallion whites and jalapeno and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups water, the rice, bay leaf and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Increase the heat to medium high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low; stir, then cover and simmer until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the greens. Cover and set aside.
  • Season the scallops with salt and sprinkle one side with the Cajun seasoning. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil, then the scallops, spice-side down; cook until browned and crisp, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until just cooked through, about 1 minute.
  • Stir the parsley and scallion greens into the rice and season with salt. Serve with the scallops and lemon wedges.

SCALLOPS WITH RICE



Scallops With Rice image

Scallops aren't the cheapest seafood on the market, but their buttery flavor is worth the expense. This is a simple, wholesome recipe that will satisfy, whether it is just you or guests. I buy frozen scallops from the grocer, thaw them, and they work just fine. For the rice I like to use a quick-cooking Rice Select royal blend--texmati white, brown, wild, and red for some variety. Some of the grains are nutty flavored and slightly al dente, which contrasts with the rest of the ingredients. Serve the same wine you cook with: a dry chablis is recommended. Serve with a vegetable or other side dish of your choice. Adapted from "Cooking in a Casserole" (1967) by Robert C. Ackart, esq.

Creamed Scallops and Mushrooms with Rice image

Categories     Milk/Cream     Mushroom     Rice     Shellfish     Valentine's Day     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Seafood     Scallop     Winter     Anniversary     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons butter
1 pound sea scallops
3/4 pound mushrooms, sliced
3/4 cup chopped green onions
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1 8-ounce bottle clam juice
1/2 cup whipping cream
Cooked white rice

Steps:

  • Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle scallops with salt and pepper. Add to skillet; sauté until just opaque in center, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer scallops to bowl.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add mushrooms, 1/2 cup green onions and cayenne to skillet. Sauté until mushrooms are tender and brown, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle flour into skillet; stir 30 seconds. Add clam juice and cream; simmer until sauce thickens enough to coat spoon, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add scallops. Stir until heated through, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place rice in shallow bowl; top with scallop mixture, then 1/4 cup green onions.

Tips:

  • Choose High-Quality Scallops: Opt for dry scallops with a firm texture and a slightly briny smell. Avoid scallops that appear slimy or have an off odor.
  • Properly Clean the Scallops: Remove the side muscle from each scallop, as it can be tough and gritty. Rinse the scallops gently under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  • Don't Overcook the Scallops: Scallops cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. They should be cooked until they are opaque and slightly firm to the touch, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Use the Right Pan: A heavy-bottomed skillet or sauté pan is ideal for cooking scallops. It will help distribute heat evenly and prevent the scallops from sticking.
  • Season the Scallops Wisely: Simple seasonings like salt, pepper, and garlic powder can enhance the natural flavor of the scallops. You can also add herbs like thyme, rosemary, or oregano for extra flavor.
  • Serve Immediately: Scallops are best served immediately after cooking. They can be paired with a variety of sides, such as rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Scallops are a versatile and delicious seafood that can be prepared in a variety of ways. With their delicate flavor and tender texture, scallops are a popular choice for both home cooks and professional chefs.
