Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds sea scallops
Salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or 2 teaspoons dried
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice, pulp included
4 tablespoons butter at room temperature
3/4 cup diced and seeded ripe tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander or parsley

Steps:

  • Place the scallops in a mixing bowl with the salt, pepper, olive oil, thyme, rosemary, garlic, pepper flakes and lemon juice. Blend well, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak the skewers in water for at least 1/2 hour.
  • Meanwhile, place the orange juice in a saucepan, and cook over high heat until it is reduced by half.
  • Add the butter, tomatoes and coriander, and cook briefly until the combination is well blended. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
  • Heat a broiler or a grill until it is quite hot.
  • Divide the scallops into four equal batches, and place them on 4 skewers. Brush with the marinade.
  • Place the skewers on the grill or under the broiler, and cook about 4 minutes. Turn the skewers, and cook for 4 more minutes on the other side.
  • Serve immediately with the orange-butter sauce.

This recipe is way too expensive. I'm not going to spend that much money on scallops.

I'm allergic to oranges, so I'll have to find a substitute for the orange butter sauce.

These scallops were amazing! I served them over a bed of rice and they were the perfect meal. The orange butter sauce was so flavorful and really made the dish.

I followed the recipe exactly and the scallops turned out beautifully. The orange butter sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but that's easily adjusted by reducing the amount of sugar.

These scallops were cooked to perfection - tender and juicy on the inside, with a slightly crispy exterior. The orange butter sauce was the perfect complement, adding a bright and tangy flavor.
