Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 ounces sugar snap peas, trimmed
1 bunch French radishes, trimmed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon water
1 pound sea scallops
Zest and juice of 1/2 orange
Fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 small bunch pepper cress, arugula, or watercress, well washed and spun dry
1 cup small pea shoots
1 cup pea-pod flowers (optional)
2 very small beets, peeled and very thinly sliced on a mandoline
Chive flowers, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the salad: In a large bowl, whisk to combine oil, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper. Add pepper cress, pea shoots, flowers, and beets, but do not toss to coat. Set aside.
  • Prepare the peas and radishes: Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add peas, and blanch for 2 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove from pot, and set aside. Blanch radishes for 2 minutes, and add to snap peas. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon water, the peas, and radishes. Cook until water evaporates and butter coats vegetables, about 2 1/2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, cook the scallops: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season scallops with salt. Working in batches if necessary so as not to crowd pan, sear scallops until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter to keep warm. Season second side with salt and pepper. To the hot pan, add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the orange zest and juice. Cook until butter is melted and flavors are combined, about 1 minute. Pour sauce over scallops.
  • Toss the salad. Arrange scallops, salad, and sauteed vegetables on dinner plates. Garnish with chive flowers, if desired. Serve immediately.

SUGAR-SEARED SCALLOPS



Sugar-Seared Scallops image

This is a variation of a Recipezaar recipe for sugar-seared salmon (very tasty!). I decided to experiment with how I could make this recipe work with scallops because (1) I love the sweet, delicate taste of seared scallops; and (2) they were on sale. The results were great! I put them over rice, but you can put them over whatever you want... you can even put them over a nice romaine salad (you can chill the sauce and use it for dressing). Hope you enjoy, too. P.S. - I know it seems like this is an awful lot of butter to use, but you'll be making sauce with it, too.

Categories     Savory

Time 15m

Yield 12-15 scallops, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb sea scallops
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/4 cup butter
4 tablespoons light sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped coriander (cilantro)

Steps:

  • Mix together the sugar, salt, and curry powder.
  • In a medium skillet, heat the butter SLOWLY. Don't just throw the butter into a hot skillet or it'll brown, and you don't want that. You do, however, want to get the skillet good and hot so as to actually sear the scallops. You'll know it's ready when the butter begins to get bubbly.
  • As your butter's heating up, roll each scallop in the sugar/salt/curry mixture. Coat all sides.
  • If your butter's not hot enough yet, put them on a plate and wait until it's hot enough. If you put them into the skillet and it's not hot enough, your coating will not caramelize and it'll slide right off the scallops!
  • Sear the scallops for about 3-4 minutes on each side. With tons, transfer scallops to a plate when done; cover with aluminum foil. Leave the butter in the skillet.
  • Reduce heat on the skillet to medium (still bubbly, but not searing temp) and add the sour cream. Stir thoroughly and constantly as it cooks down into a sauce.
  • Put the scallops over rice.
  • Drizzle sauce over scallops.
  • Sprinkle chopped cilantro over entire dish.
  • Bask in the compliments you'll get from your dinner guests.

Categories     22-Minute Meals     Dinner     Scallop     Seafood     Shellfish     Bacon     Pea     Summer     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 large sea scallops (preferably dry-packed), side muscle removed (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups shelled fresh peas (from about 1 1/2 pounds pods) or frozen peas
3 ounces bacon (about 3 slices), cut crosswise into 1/3-inch strips
1 medium shallot, cut crosswise into thin rings
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon (or more) olive oil
3 tablespoons mint leaves, coarsely chopped, divided

Steps:

  • Place scallops on a paper towel-lined plate and pat very dry with additional paper towels. Season both sides with 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper total.
  • Bring 1 cup water to a boil, covered, in a small pot. Add peas and 1/2 tsp. salt; cook until peas are bright green and tender, about 2 minutes for fresh and 4 minutes for frozen. Drain peas through a strainer set over a bowl; reserve cooking liquid.
  • Meanwhile, add bacon to a large skillet and heat over medium-high. Cook bacon, stirring occasionally, until fat starts to render, about 3 minutes. Add shallot and cook, stirring, until softened and lightly browned and bacon is crisp, about 3 minutes more. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon and shallot to a small bowl, reserving fat in skillet. Add 1/2 cup cooked peas to bacon mixture.
  • Purée lemon juice, 1/8 tsp. salt, 1/8 tsp. pepper, the remaining 1 1/2 cups peas, and 1/2 cup reserved pea cooking liquid in a blender. Add oil and pureé until smooth. Add 2 Tbsp. mint leaves and pureé until just combined but pieces of mint are still visible. Divide pea purée among 4 plates.
  • Heat skillet with reserved fat over high until just barely smoking. Working in batches and adding more oil if necessary, sear scallops until a golden brown crust has formed and scallop releases from skillet, about 3 minutes per side. Top pea purée with scallops and bacon-pea mixture, then sprinkle with remaining 1 Tbsp. mint.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are plump and have a slightly sweet smell.
  • Sear the scallops in a hot skillet with a little oil. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when searing the scallops. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and just cooked through.
  • Serve the scallops immediately with your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Seared scallops are a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. They are also a great source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
