Tips:

  • Use fresh scallops. Fresh scallops have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen scallops. If you're using frozen scallops, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for about 30 minutes.
  • Sear the scallops quickly over high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy. Sear the scallops for about 2 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and cooked through.
  • Use a variety of spices and herbs. Cajun seasoning is a great way to add flavor to scallops, but you can also use other spices and herbs, such as garlic, paprika, thyme, or basil.
  • Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to ensure that they are hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Jim's Special Cajun Scallops is a delicious and easy way to enjoy this versatile seafood. The scallops are seared quickly over high heat and then tossed in a flavorful Cajun sauce. Serve the scallops immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or salad. Enjoy this delicious dish!
