Sauteed Sea Scallops with Shallots image

VENISON SCALLOPS WITH CARAMELIZED SHALLOTS



Venison Scallops with Caramelized Shallots image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 grapefruit, peeled by hand
3 pounds loin, or well trimmed leg of venison
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 10 pieces
10 medium shallots, finely diced
1/2 cup gin
6 juniper berries
3/4 cup venison or beef stock

Steps:

  • Pull the grapefruit apart into segments. Using the tip of a small, sharp knife, loosen the white membrane surrounding each segment and pull it away, trying not to pierce any of the little juice pods. Break up the segments into juice pods and set them aside.
  • Trim the venison of any tendons or cartilage and slice across the grain into 1/2 inch slices. Place each one between 2 layers of plastic wrap and flatten by pounding with the flat side of a mallet until just over 1/4 inch thick. Season generously with salt and pepper. Preheat an oven to the lowest heat and place a heat proof platter inside.
  • In a large, heavy skillet heat the olive oil over high heat (you may need to do this in batches). Quickly sear the venison scallops for about 1 minute on each side, then reduce the heat and cook for 1 minute more, until done to your liking (if the venison is cooked beyond the medium rare stage, it will be tough.) Transfer the scallops to the platter in the oven and cover loosely with a piece of aluminum foil.
  • Wipe the skillet clean and, over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter. Add the shallots and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Add the gin and simmer until the pan is almost dry. Add the juniper berries, venison or beef stock, salt, and cracked pepper. Increase the heat to high and simmer until the liquid has reduced by half. Add the remaining pieces of cold butter, remove the pan from the heat, and whisk until the sauce is emulsified. Taste for seasoning and stir in the grapefruit pieces. Place one or 2 venison scallops on each plate and spoon some of the sauce over the top. Serve at once.

Sea Scallops Over Shallot-Herb Pasta image

Scallops and fennel take on a casual air when tossed with herbed pasta. Choose larger scallops if possible, so they won't tear as easily on the grill. This recipe comes from Martha Stewart's Grilling: 125+ Recipes for Gatherings Large and Small.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3/4 pound spaghetti or linguine
3 shallots, minced (about 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup plus 1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grill
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 cups mixed fresh herbs, such as mint, flat-leaf parsley, tarragon, and basil, finely chopped
1 fennel bulb, trimmed, halved lengthwise, and thinly sliced crosswise, plus 1/4 cup snipped fronds
24 sea scallops (about 1 1/4 pounds total), tough muscles removed

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Meanwhile, place shallots on a cutting board and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Using the side of a knife, crush into a paste. Transfer to a medium bowl and whisk in 6 tablespoons oil and lemon juice. Add herbs and fennel fronds; mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Drain pasta in a colander and return to pot. Stir in herb sauce; cover to keep warm.

Pan Seared Sea Scallops with Orange Braised Shallots image

From the Chef at Citrine, Disney's Grand Floridian Resort, Orlando. These are absolutely scrumptious.

Provided by CCinSC

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb large scallop
1 1/2 ounces olive oil
salt and pepper
1 cup orange juice
2/3 cup orange juice concentrate
2 tablespoons olive oil
12 large shallots, peeled
1 1/2 ounces sherry wine vinegar
2 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Dry scallops well and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in large saute pan until smoking then add the scallops.
  • Don't overcrowd them.
  • Brown well.
  • Let cook over medium high heat until done, about 5-8 minutes.
  • Keep Warm.
  • In non-aluminum pan bring orange juice and concentrate to boil.
  • Lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Set aside.
  • In a saute pan, heat olive oil until almost smoking.
  • Add the shallots, browning them well on all sides.
  • Add orange juice mixture and chicken stock, cover.
  • Let simmer over moderate heat until shallots are nearly cooked through.
  • Remove shallots and let the remaining liquid reduce uncovered to about one cup.
  • Swirl in butter and serve immediately over shallots and scallops.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality scallops: Look for scallops that are plump and have a slightly translucent appearance. Avoid scallops that are brown or have a slimy texture.
  • Sear the scallops properly: To get a nice sear on the scallops, make sure your pan is hot before adding the scallops. Sear the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the scallops will not cook evenly. Cook the scallops in batches if necessary.
  • Use fresh shallots: Fresh shallots have a milder flavor than dried shallots. If you don't have fresh shallots, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried shallots.
  • Add some white wine: White wine adds a delicious flavor to the scallops. You can use any type of white wine, but a dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay, is a good choice.
  • Serve the scallops immediately: Scallops are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, pasta, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Scallops with shallots is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your scallops are cooked perfectly and that the dish is full of flavor.
