Categories     weekday, appetizer, side dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 medium shallots, chopped
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 medium white mushrooms with stems, quartered
1/2 cup amontillado sherry
1 tablespoon truffle butter (optional)
1 1/3 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup bread crumbs
8 large sea scallops
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
8 scallop shells, for presentation
1 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 500. In a medium saucepan over low heat, sautéshallots with a pinch of salt in 1 tablespoon butter for 8 minutes, or until softened and translucent, but not brown. Reserve. Add another tablespoon butter to pan, and sauté mushrooms with a pinch of salt for 8 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  • Return shallots to pan and add sherry. When sherry has reduced to about a tablespoon, add truffle butter, if desired, and heavy cream. Cook until cream is reduced by one-third. Reserve in a warm place.

1 pt bay scallops
1/2 c butter or margarine, melted
1 c crackers crumbs (coarsely crushed ritz or similar)
1/2 c fresh bread crumbs
2/3 c half and half

Steps:

  • 3. Bake until crumbs are brown and scallops are just cooked. Bay scallops will cook in 10-12 minutes. They should be opaque white throughout but do not overcook. Serves 4

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality scallops. Fresh, dry-packed scallops are the best choice for this recipe. Avoid scallops that are frozen or have been treated with chemicals.
  • Cook the scallops properly. Scallops should be cooked quickly over high heat until they are just opaque. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Use a flavorful sauce or broth. The sauce or broth that you use to cook the scallops will add a lot of flavor to the dish. Be sure to use a sauce or broth that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Add some vegetables to the dish. Vegetables such as asparagus, broccoli, or mushrooms can add color, flavor, and nutrients to the dish.
  • Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to prevent them from becoming tough and rubbery.
