SAUTEED SHRIMP WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES, ARTICHOKES, LEMON AND BASIL
I love shrimp! I am like Bubba Gump in Forrest Gump. Fried! Broiled! Steamed! Sauteed! Just about any way is good for me. This is a simple recipe that's similar to shrimp scampi. The artichokes and sun-dried tomatoes with the basil and lemon make for a killer sauce over linguini or serve it with some toasted baguette to mop it up. Just don't let the sauce go to waste!

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over high heat until smoking. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until lightly caramelized, about 1 minute on each side. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside. Add the red onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until lightly golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts. Add the white wine, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
- Add the shrimp back to the pan and continue to cook over high heat until the liquid is reduced by half, 4 to 5 minutes. Add about 1/4 cup of the reserved artichoke liquid. Season with salt and black pepper and add the red pepper. Squeeze in the juice from the lemon, add the butter (if using) and basil and stir together.
- Toss with linguine or serve in a bowl with some toasted baguette.

Steps:
- If the sun-dried tomatoes are moist, dry in a 200 degree oven for about 15 minutes, until dry.
- Grind the sun-dried tomatoes in a blender until they became a smooth powder; remove from the blender and set aside.
- Add the basil (reserve 2 sprigs for garnish), orange juice, and lemon juice to the blender. Blend on medium speed while drizzling 1/4 cup of the olive oil into the mixture.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat; add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the garlic. Saute the garlic for 15 seconds (do not burn), then add the zucchini. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes or until the zucchini softens. Season with salt and pepper. Add the tomato, then take off the heat.
- Heat another nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the scallops with salt and pepper and all but 1 teaspoon of the reserved sun-dried tomato powder. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan and add the scallops slowly to prevent spattering.
- Cook for about 3 minutes, then flip to the other side. Let cook for another 2 minutes; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- To serve, mound the zucchini mixture in the middle of two dinner plates. Place 5 scallops around each mound. Drizzle the vinaigrette around the dish. Garnish with basil sprig and a sprinkling of tomato powder.

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.

SHRIMP WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES
Sun-dried tomatoes might scream 1980s nouveau cuisine to you, and that's a fair assessment considering their somewhat profligate use throughout the decade. Yet this dish may have you reconsidering their place in your pantry. Used sparingly, sun-dried tomatoes can impart a bold tomato-y taste that Mark Bittman argues is in some ways "better than 'real' tomato flavor." In this 20-minute sauté, the intense tang of capers and tomatoes plays beautifully off the mild sweetness of shrimp. Serve it over pasta or rice, or alone with a big hunk of good bread.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler; rack should be 2 to 4 inches from heat source and the heat as high as possible.
- Put oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium heat and add thyme, garlic, tomatoes and capers. Cook just until mixture sizzles, then add stock or wine; raise heat and bring to a boil. Cook for about a minute, then add shrimp, turning them in sauce.
- Put skillet under broiler and cook until shrimp are done, 3 to 5 minutes, turning once. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, garnish with basil, and serve hot or warm.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality scallops. Fresh, sea scallops are the best choice for this recipe. Look for scallops that are plump and have a slightly briny smell.
- Sear the scallops properly. Searing the scallops in a hot skillet creates a nice crust and helps to lock in the juices. Make sure the scallops are dry before searing them, and don't overcrowd the skillet.
- Don't overcook the scallops. Scallops are very delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook them for just a few minutes per side, or until they are opaque and cooked through.
- Use high-quality ingredients. The sun-dried tomatoes, white wine, and butter in this recipe all contribute to the flavor of the dish. Use the best quality ingredients you can find.
- Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served over pasta, rice, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Sautéed scallops with sun-dried tomatoes is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The scallops are tender and juicy, and the sun-dried tomatoes add a burst of flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
