SCALLOP AND LEEK RECIPE image

Categories     Shellfish

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 to 1-1/2 lbs fresh scallops
2-3 large leeks, trimmed (see picture)
1 to 1-1/2 cup heavy cream
4 tbsp butter
1/2 to 1 cup of white cooking wine
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • # Rinse leeks well, cut in half length-wise, and slice into thin long strips, also lengthwise - the whole point is to let them be like spaghetti in thickness and length. # In a shallow wide-mouth saucepan or deep skillet, melt half of the butter over medium heat # Saute leeks over slow heat constantly stirring to avoid browning # Meanwhile, in a separate skillet, melt the rest of the butter and saute scallops over medium heat until they soak all the butter up. # At that point, add your wine, heat through, and continue sauteing over low heat until wine reduces almost entirely. # Add salt and fresh ground pepper to taste # When all the wine is gone, add scallops to leeks. # Add cream at this point, heat through and simmer over very low heat until cream thickens # - # Serving suggestion: serve in large scallop shells, scrubbed clean and dried. Place leeks first in a manner of spaghetti - forming a little nest and then place scallops on top of the leeks.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt than the recipe calls for.
