SCALLOPS IN CREAM SAUCE WITH SPINACH FETTUCCINE



Scallops in Cream Sauce With Spinach Fettuccine image

This sounds really good. From the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute. ETA: I finally made this and liked it. I made 2 appetizer servings, then discovered that my grandson doesn't like scallops, lol. I thought that the first serving I made was a tad bland. So took my grandson's portion and played with it a little bit. I added some gruyere cheese, a little fresh tarragon and a dash of nutmeg and really liked these additions.

CREAMY BAY SCALLOP SPAGHETTI



Creamy Bay Scallop Spaghetti image

This scallop and spaghetti dinner with a creamy sauce is fast and easy. I cook the scallops a bit longer than many chefs, but that's gives the dish more flavor and they're still tender and moist. I think you'll agree, the sherry sauce benefits significantly from the longer cook time.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Scallops

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounces uncooked thick spaghetti
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound bay scallops
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1 pinch red pepper flakes
⅓ cup dry sherry
1 cup heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley, divided
Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes or 1 minute less than directed on the package.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. When oil just starts to smoke, add scallops and move them into a single layer. Let sear on high for 60 seconds. Toss to turn. Add butter and stir scallops until butter melts. Stir in garlic. Add lemon zest and red pepper flakes. Stir in sherry and cook and stir until alcohol cooks off, about 1 minute. Pour in cream. When mixture begins to simmer, reduce heat to medium-low. Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
  • Drain pasta. Transfer to skillet with scallops; bring to a simmer. Add half the parsley. Cook until pasta is heated through and tender, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Grate generously with grated cheese. Add the rest of the parsley. Serve in warm bowls.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Choose Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh scallops, spinach, and red bell peppers.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your dish with salt and pepper. This will help bring out the flavors of the ingredients.
  • Cook the Scallops Properly: Scallops are delicate and cook quickly. Be careful not to overcook them, or they will become tough and rubbery.
  • Make the Cream Sauce Slowly: Take your time and whisk the cream sauce constantly. This will help prevent it from curdling.
  • Add the Spinach at the End: Spinach cooks quickly, so add it to the sauce at the very end. This will help prevent it from becoming overcooked.
  • Serve Immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if you let it sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Scallops and Spinach Fettuccine with Red Bell Pepper Cream Sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of scallops, spinach, and red bell peppers is flavorful and colorful, and the cream sauce is rich and decadent. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
