LINGUINI WITH SCALLOPS, SUN-DRIED TOMATOES AND PINE NUTS



Linguini With Scallops, Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Pine Nuts image

This is from my Food and Wine One Dish Meals cookbook. My hunny is going to love this! I like it because it is just so simple. Use less red pepper flakes if you don't like spicy. Shrimp would work in place of the scallops.

SCALLOPS WITH CAPERS AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES



Scallops with Capers and Sun-Dried Tomatoes image

Categories     Shellfish     Tomato     Sauté     Scallop     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 large garlic cloves, pressed
1 teaspoon minced lemon peel (yellow part only)
12 sea scallops
2 tablespoons minced drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1 tablespoon drained capers
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried, crumbled
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and lemon peel and sauté 30 seconds. Add scallops and sauté until almost cooked through, turning once, about 3 minutes. Transfer scallops to bowl using slotted spoon. Add sun-dried tomatoes, capers, lemon juice and thyme to same skillet. Boil until liquid thickens, adding any accumulated juices from scallops to skillet, about 2 minutes. Add butter and whisk just until melted. Season to taste with salt. Return scallops to skillet and stir just until heated through. Transfer scallops and sauce to plates and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Fresh, succulent scallops, sun-dried tomatoes bursting with flavor, and tender zucchini are essential for a successful dish.
  • Cook the scallops properly: Overcooked scallops become tough and rubbery. Sear them quickly over high heat to preserve their tender texture and delicate flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the scallops, make sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can cook evenly and develop a nice crust.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what brings all the elements of the dish together. Make sure to use a sauce that complements the flavors of the scallops, zucchini, and sun-dried tomatoes.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, add a pop of color and a burst of flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

This recipe for scallops with zucchini, sun-dried tomatoes, and linguine is a delicious and elegant seafood dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of tender scallops, flavorful sauce, and colorful vegetables is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a special seafood dish, give this recipe a try.
