SAUTEED SCALLOPS
A very simple recipe for how delicious it is! Just crush the garlic with the side of a chef's knife blade instead of chopping it, and using whole sprigs of rosemary allows them to be easily removed before serving.

SAUTéED SCALLOPS
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.

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.
