Time 12m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tbsps butter
4 cloves garlic (large)

3 tbsps chopped, fresh parsley
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
2 lbs MSC Certified sea scallops (look for the MSC blue fish label)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium sauce pan, over medium heat add the butter and garlic. Saute for about 1-2 minutes or just right before the garlic begins to brown.
  • Deglaze with the wine, turn heat to medium and reduce until half the liquid is gone.
  • Add the parsley, red pepper flakes, and cream. Turn the heat to low and simmer until the cream thickens. About 4-6 minutes. Set aside while you cook the scallops.
  • Rinse the scallops, pat with a paper towel until dry and season both sides with a little sea salt and pepper.
  • In a cast iron pan, over medium high heat, heat the butter and olive oil for a minute or two (or until the pan sizzles when you add a drop or two of water).
  • Add the scallops, careful not to overcrowd the pan, and cook until opaque. This is takes about two minutes on each side (depending on the size of scallop.
  • Pour the garlic cream sauce over the scallops and serve.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/2 pound linguini
1 pound sea scallops
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus some for drizzling
3 tablespoons butter, divided
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 springs fresh thyme, leaves removed and chopped
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup seafood stock or clam juice
25 leaves fresh basil, shredded or torn
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley, a handful
1 lemon, zested and juiced
4 cups baby arugula or any mixed greens
1/2 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, cut in 1/2
Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil
Splash balsamic vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Strawberries
Split of Champagne, perfect for 2

Steps:

  • Place a large pot of water over high heat and bring up to a boil for the pasta. Once at a boil add some salt and cook pasta to package directions. Hold off on starting the scallops until you drop your pasta.
  • Remove the mussel from the scallops then with a paper towel pat them dry and season them with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil, about 1 turn around the pan and 2 tablespoons of the butter. When butter melts into oil, add scallops. Brown scallops 2 minutes on each side, then remove from pan and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
  • Add an additional drizzle of olive oil to the skillet and add the garlic, shallots, crushed red pepper flakes, thyme, a little salt and pepper. Reduce heat a little and saute garlic and shallots 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add wine to the pan and free up any pan drippings. Reduce wine 1 minute, then add seafood stock. Continue to cook for about 1 minute. Add the basil, parsley, lemon zest and juice and the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, shake and stir the mixture until the butter has melted. Add the cooked linguini and cook for about 30 seconds, just to combine and let the pasta soak up the sauce.
  • Divide the pasta between 2 serving plates and top with reserved scallops.
  • For the side salad, in a bowl combine the arugula and tomatoes, drizzle with a little extra-virgin olive oil, a splash of balsamic vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and serve.
  • And for dessert, rinse strawberries and arrange on a plate. Serve with a glass of Champagne.

SAVORY SEA SCALLOPS AND ANGEL HAIR PASTA



Savory Sea Scallops and Angel Hair Pasta image

This is a very simple, easy to prepare meal that you will most likely be asked to prepare again. The taste, if carefully prepared and not overcooked, is incredible. ENJOY!

Provided by JIM F.

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Scallops

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
¼ cup butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds sea scallops, rinsed and patted dry
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese to taste

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the angel hair pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and cook just until fragrant and softened, about 1 minute. Slice any scallops over 3/4-inch thick in half so they'll cook evenly; stir scallops, basil, and parsley into the skillet. Cook and gently stir just until scallops feel slightly firm when pressed with a finger, 2 to 3 minutes. Scallops will become tough and chewy if overcooked. Stir in lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper. Pour in cream if you like a thicker sauce. Bring the mixture just to a bare simmer.
  • Serve over hot angel hair pasta; sprinkle to taste with Parmesan cheese.

SCALLOPS IN WINE SAUCE

Make and share this Scallops in Wine Sauce recipe from Food.com.

Provided by threeovens

Categories     New Zealand

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 dozen sea scallops
1 (750 ml) bottle dry white wine
1 bay leaf
1/2 lb mushroom
2 egg yolks
4 slices thick white bread, toasted and buttered
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 lemon, cut in 1/8ths
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter, divided
1 teaspoon butter, divided

Steps:

  • Wash and dry scallops. Place scallops in a bowl and cover with wine; add bay leaf and marinate about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, slice mushrooms and set aside. Separate eggs, this recipe only uses the yolks. Beat the yolks slightly.
  • Cook the scallops for 15 minutes in the wine over medium-low heat. When done, remove cooked scallops from saucepan and season with salt and pepper; keep warm.
  • In the meantime, sauté the mushrooms in 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes or to desired doneness.
  • Bring the marinade/cooking liquid to a boil and add 1/2 teaspoon butter. Slowly whisk in egg yolks to thicken. Season with a little salt and pepper.
  • To serve, arrange buttered toast on individual dishes. Top each with scallops and sautéed mushrooms. Spoon wine sauce over top and garnish with parsley and lemon wedge. (The original recipes calls for the bread to be fried in butter, so do that if you wish).

Tips:

  • Use high-quality scallops. Fresh, dry-packed sea scallops are the best choice for this recipe.
  • Pat the scallops dry before cooking. This will help them sear properly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Season the scallops liberally. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Sear the scallops in a hot pan. This will create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan. If you do, the scallops will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque throughout.
  • Make sure the white wine sauce is simmering before adding the scallops. This will help prevent the sauce from curdling.
  • Serve the scallops immediately with the white wine sauce.

Conclusion:

This recipe for savory sea scallops in white wine sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The scallops are seared until golden brown and then simmered in a rich and flavorful white wine sauce. The result is a dish that is both sophisticated and satisfying.
