SEA SCALLOPS SAUTEED WITH MUSHROOMS & PASTA
My husband brought home these huge Maine sea scallops and I made another experiment which turned out really good. It was very light and tasty and simple to make. I used baby portobello mushrooms & bowtie pasta. The hubby would like to see this done with angel hair pasta next time.

SEARED SEA SCALLOPS WITH EXOTIC MUSHROOMS, POTATO MOUSSELINE, FOIE GRAS BUTTER AND TRUFFLE VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- For the foie gras butter: Combine the foie gras and 4 ounces of the butter in a food processor and puree. Transfer Foie Gras Butter to a small container, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- For the wild mushrooms: Heat a large saute pan over a high heat (large enough to hold all the mushrooms in a single layer). Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and then the mushrooms. Cook over high heat until crispy around the edges -- approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the pan and let cool.
- For the potato mousseline: Place potatoes in a saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the flame to low and simmer until very tender. Drain immediately and place in a food mill (not a food processor) or potato ricer. Rice or work through the food mill, adding 1/4 pound of butter, stirring constantly. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of warm milk so that the puree is silky but not runny. Cover with plastic wrap and keep and keep warm over a double boiler.
- For the gremolata: Combine chopped parsley, lemon zest and garlic.
- Sear the scallops: Heat a saute pan over high heat. Season scallops with salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Sear the scallops until golden on one side, flip and then sear the other side. Remove from pan and keep warm.
- For the truffle vinaigrette: Combine truffle juice, port and the juice from the truffle peelings in a non-reactive saucepan. Reduce over medium-low heat until reduced by about 3/4 or until liquid is a thin syrup. Remove from heat and cool.
- Combine port - truffle reduction with vinegars and whisk in the oils. Set aside. This mixture will keep for 1 month in the refrigerator if it is tightly covered.
- For the assembly: In the center of 4 large plates place a dollop of the potato mousseline. Reheat the mushrooms and sprinkle with gremolata to taste. Arrange mushrooms around the potatoes. Drizzle the foie gras butter over and around the mushrooms. Drizzle the truffle vinaigrette on and around the mushrooms. Place 3 scallops on top of each of the mounds of potato mousseline.

Steps:
- Place a large pot of water over high heat and bring up to a boil for the pasta. Once at a boil add some salt and cook pasta to package directions. Hold off on starting the scallops until you drop your pasta.
- Remove the mussel from the scallops then with a paper towel pat them dry and season them with salt and pepper.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil, about 1 turn around the pan and 2 tablespoons of the butter. When butter melts into oil, add scallops. Brown scallops 2 minutes on each side, then remove from pan and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
- Add an additional drizzle of olive oil to the skillet and add the garlic, shallots, crushed red pepper flakes, thyme, a little salt and pepper. Reduce heat a little and saute garlic and shallots 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add wine to the pan and free up any pan drippings. Reduce wine 1 minute, then add seafood stock. Continue to cook for about 1 minute. Add the basil, parsley, lemon zest and juice and the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, shake and stir the mixture until the butter has melted. Add the cooked linguini and cook for about 30 seconds, just to combine and let the pasta soak up the sauce.
- Divide the pasta between 2 serving plates and top with reserved scallops.
- For the side salad, in a bowl combine the arugula and tomatoes, drizzle with a little extra-virgin olive oil, a splash of balsamic vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and serve.

Add shallots and garlic and sauté, stirring, 2 minutes. Add Sherry, vinegar, soy sauce, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes.

SAVORY SEA SCALLOPS AND ANGEL HAIR PASTA
Steps:
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the angel hair pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and cook just until fragrant and softened, about 1 minute. Slice any scallops over 3/4-inch thick in half so they'll cook evenly; stir scallops, basil, and parsley into the skillet. Cook and gently stir just until scallops feel slightly firm when pressed with a finger, 2 to 3 minutes. Scallops will become tough and chewy if overcooked. Stir in lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper. Pour in cream if you like a thicker sauce. Bring the mixture just to a bare simmer.
- Serve over hot angel hair pasta; sprinkle to taste with Parmesan cheese.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are plump and have a slightly sweet smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong odor.
- Properly clean the scallops. Remove the tough side muscle from the side of each scallop. Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Sear the scallops in a hot pan. This will create a nice crust on the outside of the scallops while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Cook the scallops for a short amount of time. Scallops cook quickly, so overcooking them will make them tough and rubbery. Cook the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and cooked through.
- Pair the scallops with a flavorful sauce. The scallops in this recipe are paired with a creamy mushroom sauce, but you can also try them with a white wine sauce, a lemon-butter sauce, or a tomato sauce.
Conclusion:
Scallops are a delicious and versatile seafood that can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes. This recipe for sea scallops sautéed with mushrooms and pasta is a great way to enjoy scallops. The scallops are seared until golden brown and then simmered in a creamy mushroom sauce. The pasta is cooked al dente and then tossed with the scallops and sauce. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
