SEARED SCALLOPS WITH PARSLEY AND SCALLION PESTO



Seared Scallops with Parsley and Scallion Pesto image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Kosher salt
1 cup tightly packed fresh curly parsley leaves
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions
1 bunch thin asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
16 medium dry diver sea scallops (about 1 1/4 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound small white button mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced
2 shallots, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup dry vermouth
1 lemon, halved

Steps:

  • Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, adding salt until it tastes like seawater. Meanwhile, set a colander in a large bowl of ice water. Add the parsley to the boiling water and cook 1 minute, then remove with a slotted spoon. Immediately plunge the parsley into the ice bath and allow to cool, 3 to 5 minutes. Keep the water at a rolling boil.
  • Drain the parsley slightly and put it in a blender (reserve the ice water). Add the sugar and olive oil and blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water. Taste for seasoning. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the scallions; set aside.
  • Prepare the asparagus: Add the asparagus to the pot and cook until crisp-tender and bright green, about 2 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to the ice water to cool. Drain and pat dry. (The pesto and asparagus can be made up to 4 hours ahead; cover and refrigerate.)
  • Cook the scallops: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. When the oil begins to smoke slightly, season the scallops with salt and pepper and add to the pan. Cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan. Add the mushrooms and cook until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium, then add the shallots and garlic and cook until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vermouth and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and virtually all of the liquid has evaporated. Add the asparagus and toss until warmed through.
  • Arrange the scallops and vegetables on plates. Squeeze some lemon juice directly over the scallops. Top with the pesto.

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/2 pound linguini
1 pound sea scallops
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus some for drizzling
3 tablespoons butter, divided
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 springs fresh thyme, leaves removed and chopped
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup seafood stock or clam juice
25 leaves fresh basil, shredded or torn
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley, a handful
1 lemon, zested and juiced
4 cups baby arugula or any mixed greens
1/2 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, cut in 1/2
Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil
Splash balsamic vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Strawberries
Split of Champagne, perfect for 2

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.
  • And for dessert, rinse strawberries and arrange on a plate. Serve with a glass of Champagne.

Sea Scallops Over Shallot-Herb Pasta image

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Tips:

  • Choosing Fresh Scallops: Opt for dry scallops with a plump, moist texture and a slightly briny smell. Avoid any scallops with a slimy or off odor.
  • Proper Searing: Heat your skillet or pan over high heat to ensure a good sear. Once the scallops are in the pan, resist the urge to move them around. Allow them to sear undisturbed for a golden crust.
  • Don't Overcook: Scallops cook quickly, so be mindful of the cooking time. Overcooking can result in tough, rubbery scallops. Aim for a slightly translucent center for a tender and juicy bite.
  • Citrus and Herbs: The combination of satsuma, parsley, and shallots adds a refreshing and vibrant flavor to the scallops. Experiment with different citrus fruits and herbs to create your own unique salsa variations.
  • Garnish and Presentation: Garnish the seared scallops with additional citrus zest, chopped parsley, or microgreens for a visually appealing dish. Serve the scallops immediately with the salsa for an elegant and flavorful presentation.

Conclusion:

Seared sea scallops with satsuma-parsley-shallot salsa offer a delightful culinary experience that combines the delicate sweetness of scallops with the tangy brightness of citrus and herbs. By following these tips and techniques, you can create a restaurant-quality dish that is both visually appealing and bursting with flavor.
