Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Handful fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 shallot, chopped
1 tablespoon butter
2 cups heavy cream
6 ears corn, kernels cut from the cob
Sugar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons canola oil
12 large (U-10) dry scallops
1 to 2 thin slices prosciutto, baked on a baking sheet until crispy

Steps:

  • For the basil oil: Place the basil into the oil and set aside to infuse.
  • For the basil creamed corn: Cook the shallots in the butter over low heat, covered, until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the cream and corn kernels, and cook over low heat for another 2 minutes. Taste and add some sugar (up to 1/4 cup) if the corn is not sweet enough. Cook over low heat until the cream reduces and thickens, 8 to 12 minutes more. Add the basil and remove from the heat.
  • For the scallops: Add the canola oil to a very hot large skillet. When shimmering, add the scallops and sear until lightly browned, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side.
  • To serve, divide the creamed corn among 4 plates and top with the scallops. Crumble over the prosciutto and drizzle with basil oil (holding back the leaves).

The scallops were a bit overcooked, but the corn and prosciutto were excellent.

Seared scallops were cooked perfectly, tender and juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside. The basil creamed corn was a unique and flavorful side dish. The crispy prosciutto added a nice touch of saltiness and crunch. Overall, this was a delicious
