SEARED SCALLOPS WITH CORN CREAM



Seared Scallops with Corn Cream image

This recipe for seared scallops on fresh corn cream shows that you can take a few seasonal ingredients, put them together simply and quickly, and produce something pretty special. There are three keys to producing sufficiently seared scallops. First, they must be perfectly dry. Second, the oil goes on the cold scallops, not in the hot pan. Third, your pan must be extremely hot, which means you have to use a very heavy, cast iron or stainless steel pan.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Scallops

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ears fresh white corn, kernels cut from cob
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
salt to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper
12 large sea scallops, rinsed and patted dry
1 red Fresno pepper, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon smoked paprika, or to taste
1 splash water
1 tablespoon butter, or more to taste
½ lemon, juiced
¼ cup radish sprouts, or to taste

Steps:

  • Stir corn kernels, chicken broth, 2 tablespoons butter, cayenne pepper, and salt together in a saucepan; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until corn is tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour corn mixture into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth. Pour pureed corn mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a saucepan. Season with salt to taste.
  • Toss scallops, Fresno pepper, canola oil, kosher salt, and smoked paprika in a bowl until scallops are completely coated. Separate pepper slices from scallops.
  • Heat a large heavy skillet over high heat until very hot, about 5 minutes. Cook scallops in hot skillet until browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Cook and stir sliced peppers on the side of the skillet while the scallops are cooking.
  • Remove skillet from heat; transfer scallops to a plate, leaving peppers in hot skillet. Stir water and 1 tablespoon butter into peppers until butter melts. Drizzle lemon juice over peppers; stir to glaze peppers completely.
  • Divide corn cream between four bowls. Place 3 scallops over corn puree and top with glazed peppers. Garnish with radish sprouts.

Categories     Citrus     Ginger     Herb     Onion     Shellfish     Quick & Easy     Scallop     Party     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 4 main-course or 8 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

16 large sea scallops (about 1 3/4 pounds)
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
3 medium red onions, thinly sliced
1/3 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons golden brown sugar
Chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F. Toss scallops, 2 tablespoons oil, lemon peel, and ginger in medium bowl. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until brown and just opaque in center, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer scallops to small baking sheet; place in oven to keep warm.
  • Add 3 tablespoons oil to drippings in same skillet; place over high heat. Add onions; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until brown, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add wine, vinegar, and sugar. Cook until onion marmalade is thick, stirring often, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon marmalade onto plates. Top with scallops and any juices, then chives.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
  • Sear the Scallops Properly: To get a nice sear on your scallops, make sure your pan is hot before adding them. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the scallops will steam instead of sear.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh scallops and red peppers will give you the best flavor. If you can't find fresh scallops, frozen scallops are a good substitute.
  • Don't Overcook the Scallops: Scallops are very delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook them for just a few minutes per side, or until they are just cooked through.
  • Serve Immediately: Scallops are best served immediately after cooking. They can be served over pasta, rice, or vegetables.
