CREAMY PAN-ROASTED SCALLOPS WITH FRESH TOMATOES



Creamy Pan-Roasted Scallops With Fresh Tomatoes image

In this homage to a classic dish at Grand Central Oyster Bar in New York, scallops are quickly poached in a creamy, piquant tomato sauce that's spiked with Worcestershire and celery seed. If you want to work a little ahead, you can make the sauce through Step 2, and leave it in the pan, covered for an hour or two. Reheat it before adding the scallops in Step 3. Then serve the scallops right away, with some bread or rice to soak up every last drop of the herby, savory sauce.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup thinly sliced shallots or red onion
Pinch of celery seeds
Salt and black pepper
2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
2/3 cup dry white vermouth, dry white wine or clam juice
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 cup heavy cream
2 pounds sea scallops, patted dry
1/2 cup chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup chopped celery leaves or parsley leaves, or a combination, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add the butter, letting it melt. Add shallots, celery seeds and a pinch each salt and pepper, and cook until the shallots are tender and opaque, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook until jammy, 9 to 13 minutes.
  • Increase heat to medium-high and stir in vermouth. Cook until about a third of the liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add Worcestershire and cream, and simmer, reducing heat if needed and stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens enough to coat a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Season scallops with salt and pepper, and add to the pan. Cook, uncovered, until scallops are just cooked through and opaque, 3 to 6 minutes, depending on the size of the scallops. Stir in chives and celery leaves. Serve immediately, garnished with more chives and celery leaves.

Categories     Shellfish     Appetizer     Quick & Easy     Winter     Gourmet     New York     Kidney Friendly     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

16 freshly shucked oysters with 1/2 cup of their liquor
2 tablespoons bottled ketchup-style chili sauce such as Heinz
2 tablespoons dry white wine
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 slices crusty bread, toasted
paprika to taste

Steps:

  • In a metal bowl or double boiler set over a saucepan of simmering water stir together oysters with their liquor, chili sauce, wine, Worcestershire sauce, celery salt, and 2 tablespoons butter and simmer, stirring occasionally, just until edges of oysters begin to curl, about 5 minutes. Add cream and bring barely to a simmer (do not let boil).
  • Put toast in 2 bowls and top with remaining butter. Ladle oyster mixture over toast and sprinkle with paprika.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest oysters possible. Fresh oysters should have a briny, slightly sweet smell. Avoid oysters that smell sour or fishy.
  • Scrub the oysters thoroughly before cooking. Use a stiff brush to remove any dirt or debris from the shells.
  • Shuck the oysters carefully. Use an oyster knife to pry open the shells. Be careful not to spill the oyster liquor.
  • Cook the oysters over medium heat. High heat will toughen the oysters.
  • Do not overcook the oysters. Oysters are best when they are cooked just until they are opaque. Overcooked oysters will be tough and chewy.
  • Serve the oysters immediately. Oysters are best when they are served hot. You can serve them with melted butter, lemon juice, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Oysters are a delicious and versatile seafood that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. The oyster pan roast is a classic recipe that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your oyster pan roast is perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy seafood dish, give the oyster pan roast a try.
