Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 cup minced white onion
12 ounces bay scallops, Sea of Cortez or Nantucket
1/2 cup dry vermouth
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup créme fraîche
Salt and cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon cracked pink peppercorns, for garnish
4 peeled lemon segments

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in 3-quart saucepan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and onion and cook until soft but not brown. Set aside one-third of scallops. Add rest to pan and sauté until opaque but not brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Stir in vermouth, bring to simmer, and add cream and créme fraîche. Bring to a boil, and season with salt and cayenne. Purée in a blender. Strain through fine sieve and return to a clean saucepan. Keep warm.
  • Heat remaining oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add reserved scallops and sauté, turning frequently, 5 to 6 minutes, until starting to brown. Remove from heat.
  • To serve, place sautéed scallops in center of 4 shallow soup plates. Reheat bisque and pour around scallops. Scatter pink peppercorns around, and top scallops with a lemon segment.

This bisque is way too expensive to make. I won't be making it again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bisque turned out lumpy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This bisque is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better.

I'm allergic to shellfish, so I substituted shrimp for the scallops. It turned out really well!
