Scallops Poulette image

A quick and easy, but tasty microwaved scallop recipe. Great even for beginner cooks. My mother had given me this recipe, I'm not sure where she got it from, but I have made my own adaptations to it. Poulette is a French cooking term, referring to the type of sauce.

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup butter or margarine
1 tablespoon minced onion
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 (4 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
¼ cup white wine
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound bay scallops
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons lemon juice
½ cup milk, light cream, or evaporated milk
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Combine butter and onion in a 2-quart, microwave-safe casserole. Cover, and microwave on High for 2 minutes. Stir in flour until well blended, then stir in mushrooms, wine, salt, pepper, scallops, bay leaf, and lemon juice. Recover, and microwave on High for 6 minutes, or until the scallops turn opaque.

I love this recipe! The scallops are always cooked perfectly and the sauce is so flavorful. I usually serve it over rice, but it would also be great with pasta or mashed potatoes.

This dish was a disaster! The scallops were overcooked and the sauce was curdled. I had to throw the whole thing away. I would not recommend this recipe.

Not bad, but not great. The scallops were a bit tough and the sauce was a bit bland. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still good. The scallops were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was flavorful. I would probably make it again, but I would use less butter and cream.

The scallops were a bit overcooked for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I would definitely try this recipe again, but I would cook the scallops for a shorter amount of time.
