SAUTéED SCALLOPS



Sautéed Scallops image

Sea scallops and bay scallops differ in size and sweetness. They also cook a little differently. I love a good hard sear on a sea scallop, a little crust, and a splash of wine in the butter at the end to provide a silky acidity against the sweet of the meat. For the tiny, sweet bay scallop, though, I prefer a gentle butter bath. Whichever you cook, be very careful not to overcook. Indeed, there is almost no such thing as an undercooked scallop.

Categories     seafood, main course

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound sea scallops, patted dry
Kosher salt, to taste
1 tablespoon dry white vermouth or white wine
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place a large sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat, and add to it 3 tablespoons of the butter. When it has melted and started to foam, place the scallops in the pan in a single layer, and season with a pinch or two of salt.
  • Cook scallops without moving until the bottoms are golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes, then turn them over, add the wine and cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes.

SEARED PEPPERED SCALLOPS WITH ORANGE-SOY GLAZE



Seared Peppered Scallops with Orange-Soy Glaze image

Categories     Fruit Juice     Citrus     Shellfish     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Orange     Scallop     Winter     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tablespoons peanut oil, divided
1 1/2 pounds sea scallops, patted dry with paper towels
2 teaspoons ground peppercorn blend, or ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped (about 2 teaspoons)
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon (packed) grated orange peel

Steps:

  • Heat 3 tablespoons oil in large skillet over high heat. Sprinkle scallops with pepper blend and salt. Working in batches, add scallops to skillet in single layer; sauté until brown on outside and just opaque in center, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer scallops to plate, leaving drippings in pan.
  • Add garlic and remaining oil to drippings in skillet; stir 30 seconds. Add orange juice, soy sauce, and orange peel. Boil until sauce thickens to syrup, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour sauce over scallops and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are plump and have a slightly briny smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Pat the scallops dry before cooking. This will help them to brown evenly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Use a hot skillet. This will help to sear the scallops and prevent them from sticking.
  • Cook the scallops for a short amount of time. Scallops cook quickly, so it is important not to overcook them. Otherwise, they will become tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best when served hot. You can garnish them with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or basil, or a squeeze of lemon juice.

Conclusion:

Sautéed scallops with orange and sesame is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The scallops are tender and juicy, and the orange and sesame sauce is flavorful and slightly sweet. This dish is sure to impress your guests and is a great way to enjoy fresh seafood.
