Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

¼ cup butter
1 (10 ounce) lobster tail
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy cream
¼ cup cream sherry
12 large sea scallops
4 slices Gouda cheese
1 (15 ounce) package double crust ready-to-use pie crust

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Split the shell of the lobster tail lengthwise and add to the skillet. Cook, turning occasionally, until the shell is bright red and meat is opaque. Remove the tail from the pan. Peel off the shell and dice the meat; set aside.
  • Whisk the flour into the butter; cooking and stirring over medium heat for a few minutes, then gradually whisk in the cream and sherry. Continue to stir constantly over medium heat until thickened, about 2 minutes. Fold in lobster meat and remove from the heat.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Unroll the pie crusts onto a clean surface and cut into eight 6 inch circles. You may need to use a rolling pin to make them large enough to get four out of each crust. Press the circles into four individual sized ramekins. You could also cut 4 inch circles and press them into the cups of a muffin tin for appetizer sized servings.
  • Place 3 scallops into each ramekin and top each serving with a slice of Gouda cheese. Cover with remaining pie crust dough and crimp the edges to seal.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the crusts are brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve topped with lobster sauce.

These are the most delicious scallops I have ever had. Perfect for a special occasion as an appetizer. I found the fish stock hard to find so I substituted vegetable stock and it was just as good. Also, I would imagine you could substitute the scallops for prawns.

SCALLOPS WITH SAFFRON LOBSTER SAUCE AND CAVIAR



Scallops With Saffron Lobster Sauce and Caviar image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups dry white wine
1 2-pound lobster
2 1/2 teaspoons cold, unsalted butter
2 shallots, peeled and minced
1 cup sparkling wine
1 pound large sea scallops
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
3 tablespoons golden caviar
8 cups cleaned and stemmed spinach leaves

Steps:

  • In a large pot, bring the white wine to a boil over high heat. Add the lobster, cover, reduce heat and steam for 10 minutes. Remove the lobster and set aside. Reserve the broth.
  • When the lobster is cool, remove the meat from the claws and tail and set aside. Use a sharp knife to split the body and to break the shell into 2- to 3-inch chunks. Place the shells in the reserved lobster broth over low heat, and simmer for 1 hour. Strain and set aside.
  • Melt 1 teaspoon of the butter in a clean saucepan. Add the shallots, and saute until softened, about 30 seconds. Add the lobster broth and the sparkling wine, and bring to a slow simmer. Add the scallops, and simmer just until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, place in a bowl and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Place 2 cups of the poaching liquid in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until reduced to 1 cup, about 15 minutes. Add the saffron, and simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes. Cut the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons butter into small pieces. Remove the sauce from the heat, and gradually whisk in the butter. Carefully stir in the caviar to avoid breaking the eggs.
  • Cut the lobster meat into bite-size chunks. Steam the spinach just until wilted, and divide among 4 plates. Divide the scallops among the plates, sprinkle with lobster chunks and spoon the sauce over the scallops and lobster. Serve immediately.

2 Tbsp ginger, minced
4 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp curry powder
1 1/2 pounds uncooked large shrimp, peeled, deveined
1 pound sea scallops
6 green onions, chopped
1 cup whipping cream or 1/2 and 1/2 cream

Tips:

- For best results, use fresh scallops and lobster. If using frozen scallops, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight. - Be careful not to overcook the scallops, as they can become tough. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the scallops, but they should be cooked for no more than 2-3 minutes per side. - If you can't find saffron threads, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of ground saffron instead. - If you don't have caviar, you can use another type of fish roe, such as salmon roe or trout roe. - You can also add other ingredients to the sauce, such as chopped shallots, garlic, or white wine. - Serve the scallops immediately, while they are still hot.
