Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tsp. fresh lime juice
Kosher salt
1 toasted nori sheet
1 tsp. ground coriander
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil, plus more for grill
12 large dry sea scallops, side muscles removed, patted dry
1/2 lime
3 scallions, dark green parts only, very thinly sliced
1 tsp. Aleppo-style or other mild red pepper flakes or gochugaru (coarse Korean red pepper powder)
Special Equipment:
A spice mill; eight 8" wooden skewers, soaked at least 1 hour

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Mix mayonnaise, lime juice, a pinch of salt, and 1 Tbsp. water in a small bowl; set lime mayo aside.
  • Finely grind nori in spice mill. Transfer half to a small bowl; set aside for serving. Transfer remaining nori to a large bowl and mix in coriander, ginger, and 2 Tbsp. oil. Add scallops and toss to coat.
  • Thread 3 scallops onto 2 skewers. (This will keep scallops in place and make them easy to turn. You can also use this method for shrimp and small peppers like shishito and Padrón.) Repeat with remaining scallops and skewers. Season both sides with salt.
  • Clean and oil grate, then immediately place scallops on the outside edge of the grill so that the skewers are hanging off the side. Grill, turning scallops with handles of skewers, until grill marks appear and scallops are just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side, depending on their size.
  • Spread lime mayo on a platter and place skewers with scallops on top. Finely grate zest from lime half over, then squeeze juice over. Top with scallions and sprinkle with Aleppo-style pepper and reserved nori.

Time 1h15m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 20

¾ pound large bay scallops
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup soy sauce
1 ½ teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 ½ teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 teaspoon wasabi paste
½ teaspoon sesame oil
¼ cup peanut oil
½ cup dry white wine
¼ cup mirin (Japanese sweet wine)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
1 tablespoon minced shallot
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
½ cup unsalted butter
2 ½ teaspoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
7 ounces sliced chanterelle mushrooms
1 bunch spinach leaves

Steps:

  • Heat water in a sous-vide water bath to 125 degrees F (52 degrees C).

  • Whisk soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, white sugar, lime juice, wasabi paste, and sesame oil together in a bowl. Slowly whisk in peanut oil until vinaigrette is smooth.
  • Place white wine, mirin, ginger, and shallots in a skillet over medium heat; simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated, 4 to 5 minutes. Add cream; simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes more. Reduce heat to low; whisk in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until sauce is thickened and smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. Whisk in soy sauce.
  • Strain sauce into a bowl; pour into whipping siphon and charge. Shake to combine.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms; cook and stir until soft and tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Heat 1/4 cup vinaigrette to just boiling in a separate skillet. Add spinach; cook until just wilted, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
  • Heat grapeseed oil in a large skillet over high heat. Remove scallops from plastic bag; pat dry with a paper towel. Cook until golden brown, 30 to 45 seconds per side.
  • Spoon spinach and mushrooms onto serving platter. Spray some of the sauce onto the serving platter; top with scallops to serve.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH GINGER SAUCE



Seared Scallops with Ginger Sauce image

Provided by Katherine Anastasia

Categories     Milk/Cream     Ginger     Scallop     Summer     Cilantro     Bon Appétit     Pasadena     California

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter 1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
24 sea scallops
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
1/2 cup whipping cream
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 green onion, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter with oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Sprinkle scallops with salt and pepper. Add 12 scallops to skillet and sear until brown, about 1 minute per side; transfer to bowl. Sear remaining 12 scallops; transfer to same bowl. Add ginger and garlic to skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add wine and vinegar and boil 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits. Add cream and remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Boil until sauce thickens enough to coat spoon, about 3 minutes. Return scallops and any collected juices to skillet. Simmer until scallops are just opaque in center, about 2 minutes. Mix in cilantro and green onion.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality scallops. Fresh, dry scallops are the best choice for grilling. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong odor.
  • Prepare the scallops properly. Before grilling, remove the side muscle from each scallop. This will help the scallops cook evenly and prevent them from curling up.
  • Use a hot grill. A hot grill will help to sear the scallops and prevent them from sticking. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before adding the scallops.
  • Cook the scallops quickly. Scallops cook very quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on them while they're grilling. Cook them for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and slightly browned.
  • Serve the scallops immediately. Grilled scallops are best served immediately, while they are still hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Soy ginger grilled scallops are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and impressive. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy seafood recipe, give soy ginger grilled scallops a try!
