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.

SAUTéED SCALLOPS WITH GARLIC



Sautéed Scallops with Garlic image

You can make this with sea scallops or true bay scallops (which are rare and quite expensive); don't bother to try it with the tiny calicos, which are guaranteed to overcook and become rubbery. If you look at a sea scallop, you'll see a little stark-white hinge on one side; remove that if you have the time; it's much chewier than the rest of the meat. And if you're lucky enough to find scallops with their roe (it's red or beige; you'll know it when you see it), by all means use them here.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter or more oil
2 pounds sea scallops, cut in half horizontally if very large
Flour for dredging
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Chopped fresh chervil or parsley leaves or chives for garnish

Steps:

  • Put the oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet and turn the heat to medium-high; begin to dredge the scallops lightly in the flour. When the butter foam subsides, add the scallops swiftly but not all at once. Turn them individually, as they brown, allowing about 2 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper as they cook.
  • Once you have turned all the scallops, add the garlic and lower the heat a bit. Stir or, even better, shake the pan gently so the garlic cooks a bit and is distributed among the scallops. Garnish and serve.
  • A venerable tradition: In step 1, use only 1 tablespoon butter or oil; in it, sauté about 1/4 cup bacon or pancetta over medium heat until crisp, 5 to 10 minutes; halfway through the cooking time, add 1/4 cup minced shallots. Quarter the scallops; do not dredge them in flour. Stir them into the bacon/shallot mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, for a couple of minutes, until stark white. Season to taste (omit the garlic), garnish, and serve.
  • You can finish either the main recipe or the variation this way: Transfer the cooked scallops to a warm platter and turn the heat to high. Add 1 cup dry white wine (a really good one will not be wasted here) and cook, stirring and scraping the pan with a wooden spoon, until the wine is reduced by more than half and is syrupy and thick. Pour this over the cooked scallops, garnish, and serve.

SAUTEED SEA SCALLOPS WITH MUSTARD SAUCE



Sauteed Sea Scallops with Mustard Sauce image

Categories     Mustard     Shellfish     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Scallop     Spring     Gourmet

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 pound sea scallops
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large shallot, minced
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
2 scallion greens, cut diagonally into 1/4-inch slices (about 2 tablespoons)
Accompaniment: caraway rice cakes

Steps:

  • Remove tough muscle from side of each scallop if necessary. Pat scallops dry and season with salt and pepper. In a 10-to 12-inch non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté scallops 1 to 2 minutes on each side (depending on size), or until golden and just cooked through. Transfer scallops with tongs to a plate and keep warm, covered loosely.
  • In oil remaining in skillet cook shallot over moderate heat, stirring, until softened. Add wine and boil, scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Stir in water and mustard and simmer until reduced to about 1/4 cup. Add butter and swirl skillet, returning skillet to heat as necessary, until butter is just incorporated into sauce. Season sauce with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon sauce onto a small platter or 2 plates. Top sauce with scallops and sprinkle with scallion. Serve scallops with caraway rice cakes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh scallops. Fresh scallops have a sweet, briny flavor and a tender, slightly chewy texture. Avoid frozen scallops, which can be tough and bland.
  • Pat the scallops dry before cooking. This will help to prevent them from steaming instead of sautéing.
  • Season the scallops liberally. Scallops have a mild flavor, so it's important to season them well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the scallops will steam instead of sautéing. Cook the scallops in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the scallops over high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the scallops while keeping the inside tender.
  • Don't overcook the scallops. Scallops cook quickly, so it's important to not overcook them. Overcooked scallops will be tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served on their own or with a variety of sides, such as rice, pasta, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Sautéed sea scallops with shallots is a quick, easy, and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and elegant meal that is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a seafood dish that is both healthy and delicious, give sautéed sea scallops with shallots a try.
