SEARED SCALLOPS WITH PINEAPPLE, GINGER AND LEMON GRASS SALSA



Seared Scallops with Pineapple, Ginger and Lemon Grass Salsa image

I'm still on my healthy eating kick to get in shape for the summer, but refuse to resign myself to just baked chicken breasts and steamed broccoli. This recipe was exactly what I needed tonight - something that involves a little bit of real cooking, fresh seafood, and a ton of flavor. I will have to keep this one in mind for the upcoming summer evenings. If scallops aren't your thing, try this recipe with jumbo prawns, calamari, or even grilled octopus!

Time 45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 shallot, sliced crosswise
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 pinch salt
¼ cup finely chopped pineapple
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1 tablespoon lemon grass, finely chopped
1 teaspoon cilantro, finely chopped
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
½ teaspoon sesame seeds
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
salt, to taste
½ pound French style green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons safflower oil
4 large sea scallops

Steps:

  • Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the shallot and 1 pinch of salt; cook and stir until the shallot has softened, about 5 minutes. Stir shallot, pineapple, ginger, lemon grass, cilantro, honey, vinegar, sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, extra virgin olive oil, and salt to taste, together in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan, and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover, and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the green beans, recover, and steam until just tender, 2 to 6 minutes depending on thickness. Immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the green beans are cold, drain well, and set aside.
  • Heat the safflower oil in a large skillet over high heat. Thoroughly dry each scallop. Once light wisps of smoke are visible in the safflower oil, carefully place the scallops in the skillet. Sear the scallops until golden brown without moving them, about 1 minute. Flip the scallop and cook until desired doneness, about 90 seconds. Turn of the heat and remove scallops from the skillet. Toss green beans into the still-hot skillet for 1 minute. Serve scallops over green beans and top with pineapple salsa.

1 lb sea scallops

  • Then add the pineapple and stir around to coat.
  • Pour it all over the scallops and garnish. Serve immediately.
  • For the wine I prefer to use Alice White Lexia, its smooth and has more of a fruity flavor.

Yield four.

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 Tbs. homemade or low-salt canned chicken broth
1/4 cup thawed pineapple juice concentrate
1/2 tsp. grated fresh ginger
1-1/2 lb. "dry" sea scallops patted dry

Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil generously over the skewered scallops. Grind black pepper over the skewered scallops. Drizzle more olive oil over top and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Combine all of them with the chopped herbs in a large bowl. Add lime juice and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH BASIL RISOTTO



Seared Scallops With Basil Risotto image

There's just something about the caramelized crust and meaty interior of scallops that makes them the perfect protein. They also have a naturally delicate flavor, so it's important to let them shine with a simple seasoning of salt and pepper. However, that means whatever scallops are served with has to take the lead with big, bold taste. Cue basil-pineapple risotto! Once you make risotto with pineapple juice, you'll be hard pressed to go without it ever again. If you're looking to wow guests with a meal they'd be likely to find in a five-star restaurant, then this is your dish.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups pineapple juice
1 ½ cups vegetable broth
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
⅓ cup minced yellow onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 ¼ cups uncooked Arborio rice
¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
¼ teaspoon black pepper, plus more for seasoning
3 tablespoons minced fresh basil
1 pound sea scallops
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more as needed
½ cup microgreens, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the pineapple juice and broth in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover with a lid and remove from the heat.

  • Pat the scallops dry, then season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a medium skillet set over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add half the scallops and cook undisturbed for 2 minutes. Flip the scallops once, then tilt the skillet and baste them with the oil. Continue cooking the scallops an additional 1 minute, until no longer translucent. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining scallops, adding more oil as needed.
  • Divide the risotto among serving plates and top with the scallops.
  • Garnish with microgreens and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest scallops you can find. Fresh scallops should have a sweet, briny smell and be firm to the touch. Avoid any scallops that are slimy or have an off odor.
  • Sear the scallops in a hot skillet. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy. Be sure to not overcrowd the skillet, as this will prevent the scallops from searing properly.
  • Don't overcook the scallops. Scallops cook very quickly, so it's important to not overcook them. Otherwise, they will become tough and chewy. Cook the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are just opaque in the center.
  • Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to ensure that they are hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Seared scallops with pineapple is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The scallops are seared until golden brown and then served with a sweet and tangy pineapple salsa. This dish is sure to impress your guests and is a great way to enjoy fresh scallops.
