Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound fresh bay or sea scallops
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
All-purpose flour, for dredging
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, divided
1/2 cup chopped shallots (2 large)
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 lemon, cut in 1/2

Steps:

  • If you're using bay scallops, keep them whole. If you're using sea scallops, cut each 1 in half horizontally. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, toss with flour, and shake off the excess.
  • In a very large saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter over high heat until sizzling and add the scallops in 1 layer. Lower the heat to medium and allow the scallops to brown lightly on 1 side without moving them, then turn and brown lightly on the other side. This should take 3 to 4 minutes, total. Melt the rest of the butter in the pan with the scallops, then add the shallots, garlic, and parsley and saute for 2 more minutes, tossing the seasonings with the scallops. Add the wine, cook for 1 minute, and taste for seasoning. Serve hot with a squeeze of lemon juice.

BAKED COCONUT SHRIMP WITH PINEAPPLE SAUCE



Baked Coconut Shrimp with Pineapple Sauce image

I love the big succulent coconut shrimp found at a popular restaurant. Unfortunately, due to health reasons I can't indulge in that shrimp anymore. I created a recipe that satisfies my craving and tastes just as indulgent, but without the guilt! Can be served as an entree or as an appetizer.

SAUTEED SCALLOPS IN PINEAPPLE/RUM SAUCE



Sauteed Scallops in Pineapple/Rum Sauce image

WARNING: Do NOT make this without Panko. Ordinary bread crumbs or corn flake crumbs just don't work. Sauce can be made days ahead if desired. A great appetizer, it may be a little rich for a main course.

Provided by Blue Bustard

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h5m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (6 ounce) can crushed pineapple
1 (6 ounce) can pineapple chunks
1 cup rum
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 cups white wine
1 shallot, minced
4 ounces heavy cream
1/2 cup butter, cut into chunks
4 ounces macadamia nuts, crushed
4 ounces panko breadcrumbs (NO SUBSTITUTIONS)
1 egg
1 lb sea scallops

Steps:

  • Chop the chunk pineapple to about quarter inch bits, mix with crushed pineapple and set aside.
  • Reduce rum and brown sugar. At the same time, reduce white wine and shallots by half. Then combine both parts and continue to reduce, adding cream. When mixture thickens, whip in chunks of butter. Add pineapple. Set sauce aside, keeping warm.
  • Mix panko and nuts together in a bowl.
  • Lightly beat egg in a bowl with a little added cream.
  • Rinse scallops and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Dip scallops in egg, dredge in panko/nut mixture, and saute in butter until golden - about two to four minutes.
  • Spoon some sauce on a plate. Place cooked scallops on sauce, spoon some sauce over them and serve.
  • This recipe makes enough sauce for two or three pounds of scallops, but saves quite well refrigerated.

CREAMY COCONUT AND RUM BAKED PINEAPPLE



Creamy Coconut and Rum Baked Pineapple image

I came up with this as a solution to leftover coconut milk and a fresh pineapple. And even on Weight Watchers, it was worth saving points for this dessert. The whole recipe has a total of 8 points. The rum for this dessert should be golden- a light rum will not produce the same depth of flavour. Number of servings will depend on the size of pineapple used- increase the sauce if using a large pineapple.

Provided by Shuzbud

Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 medium fresh pineapple
2 tablespoons brown sugar (I use Brown Sugar Splenda)
3 tablespoons coconut milk
3 tablespoons golden rum
whipped cream (optional topping)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F or 150°C (this is the temperature I use although my oven is fan-assisted so if yours is not, you may wish to use a higher temperature).
  • Peel and core the pineapple. Slice it into bite-size chunks and lay flat in one layer on a baking tray (I use pyrex).
  • Scatter the brown sugar/brown sugar Splenda evenly over the top.
  • In a glass, mix the coconut milk with the rum. Pour over the pineapple and put in the oven.
  • Cook for 30-35 minutes uncovered, turning and stirring every 10 minutes.
  • Serve the pineapple chunks warm with the sauce drizzled over the top. Whipped cream would also be a good addition!

ROASTED PINEAPPLE WITH RUM-VANILLA SAUCE AND COCONUT



Roasted Pineapple With Rum-Vanilla Sauce and Coconut image

This is an easy dessert, but also fancy enough to serve guests. I love these flavor combinations! Recipe courtesy of Tyler Florence. He serves this with rum raisin ice cream. *There is a note at the end of the directions that tells you how to toast coconut.

Provided by LifeIsGood

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups hot water
1/2 cup white rum
1/2 vanilla bean, scraped
1 pineapple
1/2 cup shredded coconut, toasted
1 pint rum raisin ice cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a saucepan, stir together the sugar, corn starch and salt. Add the hot water slowly, whisking constantly. Put the pot over high heat and bring to a simmer while continuing to whisk. Turn off the heat once the sauce has thickened - about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the rum and the vanilla scrapings and stir to combine.
  • Cut the top and bottom off the pineapple. Stand the pineapple up and slice off the rind from top to bottom. Then cut it into thirds, lengthwise. Cut the wedges in half, the short way, so you have 6 thick chunks. Remove the cores.
  • Put the pineapple wedges onto a nonstick cookie sheet and ladle them with half of the rum sauce. Bake for 30 minutes, then switch the oven to broil and cook until the pineapple is caramelized - about 10 to 15 minutes. Watch carefully to make sure it doesn't burn.
  • Serve a hunk of pineapple covered in the remaining rum sauce, toasted coconut and 2 scoops of ice cream. Enjoy!
  • *Note- to toast coconut: Preheat oven to 350 F and spread coconut on a cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Watch it to make sure it doesn't burn.

Tips:

  • Select high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are plump, firm, and have a slightly briny smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Use fresh pineapple. Fresh pineapple has a brighter flavor and more vibrant color than canned pineapple. If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Don't overcook the scallops. Scallops cook quickly, so it's important to watch them closely to prevent them from becoming tough. Cook the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and cooked through.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough. The pineapple rum sauce should be thick enough to coat the scallops. If the sauce is too thin, it will not adhere to the scallops.
  • Serve the scallops immediately. Baked coconut scallops in pineapple rum sauce are best served immediately, while the scallops are still hot and the sauce is still warm.

Conclusion:

Baked coconut scallops in pineapple rum sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The scallops are tender and juicy, the coconut adds a sweet and nutty flavor, and the pineapple rum sauce is the perfect finishing touch. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
