Categories     weekday, appetizer, side dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 medium shallots, chopped
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 medium white mushrooms with stems, quartered
1/2 cup amontillado sherry
1 tablespoon truffle butter (optional)
1 1/3 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup bread crumbs
8 large sea scallops
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
8 scallop shells, for presentation
1 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 500. In a medium saucepan over low heat, sautéshallots with a pinch of salt in 1 tablespoon butter for 8 minutes, or until softened and translucent, but not brown. Reserve. Add another tablespoon butter to pan, and sauté mushrooms with a pinch of salt for 8 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  • Return shallots to pan and add sherry. When sherry has reduced to about a tablespoon, add truffle butter, if desired, and heavy cream. Cook until cream is reduced by one-third. Reserve in a warm place.
  • In a small skillet, melt remaining tablespoon butter, add bread crumbs and toss with a spoon until evenly coated. Reserve.
  • Season scallops very lightly on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over high heat until it just begins to smoke. Lay scallops in pan, and sear on one side until caramelized, about 3 minutes. Turn them over and turn off heat.
  • Place scallop shells on a cookie sheet. Add parsley to sherry sauce, and spoon some sauce into each shell. Arrange 1 scallop in each shell, browned side up. Sprinkle bread crumbs over sauce, but not on scallops. Bake scallops for 3 minutes, or until bread crumbs are lightly browned.

"I'm a huge fresh mint fan. I love it in savory foods," says Bobby.

Provided by Bobby Flay

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup fresh or frozen peas
Kosher salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup champagne vinegar
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
Touch of clover honey
Freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
12 large sea scallops, patted dry
Canola oil, for brushing
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon superfine sugar
Chopped fresh mint and parsley, for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the vinaigrette: Blanch the peas in boiling salted water until tender, 1 to 2 minutes, then shock them in an ice bath until chilled; drain. Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, honey and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the peas, mint and parsley and toss. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Cook the scallops: Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Brush the scallops on both sides with canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the sugar over 1 side of the scallops and let them sit for 2 minutes to slightly dissolve the sugar. Place the scallops sugar-side down on the grill and cook until golden brown and caramelized, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and continue grilling until just cooked through, about 2 minutes.
  • Serve 3 scallops per plate and spoon the peas and vinaigrette over and around the scallops. Top each with some chopped mint and parsley, if desired.

GRAMMY'S SCALLOPED SCALLOPS



Grammy's Scalloped Scallops image

An old-time Maine recipe, passed down by my wife's grandmother, for scallops in a white cream sauce.

Provided by Messy Cook

Categories     Scallop Recipes

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 tablespoons butter, divided
1 pound sea scallops
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup half-and-half
¾ cup milk
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter an 8-inch square baking dish.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir scallops in melted butter until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir flour into scallop mixture until dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Gradually pour half-and-half and milk into scallop mixture, while stirring constantly until milk mixture is thickened, 5 to 10 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Pour scallop mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • Place remaining 2 tablespoons butter in microwave-safe bowl and heat in microwave until melted, 15 to 20 seconds. Stir bread crumbs into melted butter until coated; sprinkle over scallop mixture.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality scallops. Fresh, dry scallops are the best choice for this recipe. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have an off odor.
  • Use a flavorful breadcrumb mixture. The breadcrumb mixture is what gives scalloped scallops their signature flavor. Be sure to use a mixture that is seasoned with herbs, spices, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Don't overcook the scallops. Scallops are delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook them just until they are opaque and tender, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Serve scalloped scallops immediately. Scalloped scallops are best served hot out of the oven. They can be made ahead of time and reheated, but they are not as good as when they are freshly made.

Conclusion:

Scalloped scallops are a classic seafood dish that is both elegant and delicious. They are perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that will impress your family and friends.
