SCALLOPS PROVENCAL
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.
PAN SEARED SCALLOPS
Very simple preparation that preserves the delicate, sweet flavor of the scallops. I didn't have Romano on hand, so I used Parmigiano-Reggiano and just grated it directly over the scallops in the skillet.

Steps:
- Pat scallops dry with paper towels, and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the scallops to skillet and cook, flipping once, until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining scallops, adding more oil to the skillet as needed. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges on the side.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are plump and firm, with a slightly translucent appearance. Avoid scallops that are brown or discolored.
- Sear the scallops properly. Sear the scallops in a hot pan with a little oil until they are golden brown and slightly caramelized on the outside and cooked through on the inside. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the scallops will not sear properly.
- Use fresh ingredients. The freshness of the ingredients will greatly affect the flavor of the dish. Use fresh Champagne grapes, almonds, and herbs.
- Do not overcook the scallops. Scallops are a delicate seafood and can easily be overcooked. Overcooked scallops will be tough and chewy.
- Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best served immediately after cooking, while they are still hot and juicy.
Conclusion:
Pan-seared scallops with Champagne grapes and almonds is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The scallops are seared until golden brown and slightly caramelized on the outside and cooked through on the inside. The Champagne grapes add a touch of sweetness and acidity, while the almonds add a nutty flavor and crunch. This dish is sure to impress your guests!
