SCALLOP MARTINIS

Warning! I have it upon good authority that this recipe just really is NOT GOOD. I posted it in good faith, having loved recipes by Lucy Waverman many times before. But sadly, this is not one that stands the test! Prepare at your peril, it's really no a good recipe. Don't waste your money on the scallops for this one :( Original Intro was: A sexy appetizer served in Martini glasses. Eat the scallops and drink the spicy Martini. Great for a dinner with that special someone, or for a dinner party. Cooking time is marinating time. Another recipe by Lucy Waverman at Food and Drink. I am secretly posting this in honor of my wonderful friend Potsie, he'll find this recipe at some point :)

Scallop and Shrimp Cocktail image

Provided by Marcela Valladolid

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

Kosher salt
1/2 pound jumbo sea scallops (6 to 8)
1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup clam-tomato juice (such as Clamato)
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon seeded and finely chopped serrano chile pepper 1 teaspoon hot sauce
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 pound cooked small shrimp, peeled and deveined
Saltines or tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the scallops, reduce the heat and poach gently for about 2 minutes. Drain well and chill at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
Stir together the onion, clam-tomato juice, ketchup, lime juice, cilantro, serrano chile and hot sauce in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Quarter the scallops. Add the scallops and shrimp to the sauce and stir gently to combine. Divide among 4 glasses or bowls. Serve with saltines or chips.

Tips:

Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, plump scallops, premium vodka, and fresh citrus fruits for the best flavor.
Properly chill your ingredients: Make sure the scallops, vodka, and martini glasses are well-chilled before assembling the martinis.
Don't overcook the scallops: Quickly sear the scallops until they are just opaque in the center, about 1-2 minutes per side.
Use a good quality citrus juicer: A citrus juicer will help you extract the maximum amount of juice from the lemons and limes.
Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like dill or parsley add a pop of color and flavor to the martinis.

Conclusion:

Scallop martinis are a sophisticated and delicious appetizer or light meal that are perfect for any occasion. With their combination of briny scallops, citrusy vodka, and fresh herbs, these martinis are sure to impress your guests.
