This recipe is traditionally served on little scallop shells, but ovenproof ramekins are a great substitution. Coquilles Saint-Jacques is most often eaten as a first course, or appetizer, but can be used as a delicious seafood entrée.

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 lbs sea scallops
4 tablespoons butter
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
1 cup chopped onion
2/3 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons cognac
3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/3 cup grated gruyere cheese
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Mix the flour, salt, curry powder, and cayenne pepper together in a large bowl.
  • Add the scallops to the bowl and toss the mixture together until the scallops are completely coated in the spiced flour mixture.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the scallops to the butter and sauté them, turning once, until they are golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes; transfer the scallops to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  • Add the mushrooms and onions to the skillet and sauté, stirring frequently, over medium-high heat for 4 minutes, until they start to turn light brown.
  • Add the white wine to the pan and scrape the bottom of the pan with a metal spatula to get all the brown bits off the pan and into the sauce.
  • Reduce the heat slightly and simmer until the sauce has reduced by half.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the Cognac and scallops.
  • Preheat the oven broiler.
  • Divide the scallop and sauce mixture between 6 scallop shells or small ovenproof serving dishes.
  • Mix together the bread crumbs, melted butter, and Gruyere cheese; divide and spoon the mixture evenly over each dish of scallops.
  • Place the dishes about 5-6 inches from the broiler and cook until the scallop mixture is hot, bubbly, and browned on top.
  • Sprinkle with lemon juice and serve immediately.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated for my liking. There were a lot of steps and ingredients involved, and I think it would be easier to just buy pre-made scallops.
