Yield Makes 2 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

four 12-inch-long rosemary branches or 10-inch bamboo skewers
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
16 medium sea scallops (about 1/8 pound)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Accompaniments if desired: Purple Potato, Sugar Snap Pea, and Mint Salad and Mango Cucumber Salsa

Steps:

  • If using rosemary branches, remove leaves from all but top 3 inches of each branch. In a small bowl stir together chopped rosemary, paprika, and cayenne. Remove tough muscle from side of each scallop if necessary and pat scallops dry. Season scallops with salt and sprinkle with rosemary mixture. Thread 4 scallops onto each rosemary branch or bamboo skewer.
  • In a large non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté scallops until golden and just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
  • Serve scallops with potato salad and mango salsa.

These scallops were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my scallops turned out tough and chewy. I'll have to try this recipe again.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some garlic and lemon juice to the scallops before searing them and it really improved the flavor.

These scallops were cooked to perfection - tender and juicy on the inside, with a beautiful golden-brown sear on the outside. The rosemary added a lovely flavor that complemented the scallops perfectly.
