CREAMY PAN-ROASTED SCALLOPS WITH FRESH TOMATOES



Creamy Pan-Roasted Scallops With Fresh Tomatoes image

In this homage to a classic dish at Grand Central Oyster Bar in New York, scallops are quickly poached in a creamy, piquant tomato sauce that's spiked with Worcestershire and celery seed. If you want to work a little ahead, you can make the sauce through Step 2, and leave it in the pan, covered for an hour or two. Reheat it before adding the scallops in Step 3. Then serve the scallops right away, with some bread or rice to soak up every last drop of the herby, savory sauce.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup thinly sliced shallots or red onion
Pinch of celery seeds
Salt and black pepper
2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
2/3 cup dry white vermouth, dry white wine or clam juice
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 cup heavy cream
2 pounds sea scallops, patted dry
1/2 cup chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup chopped celery leaves or parsley leaves, or a combination, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add the butter, letting it melt. Add shallots, celery seeds and a pinch each salt and pepper, and cook until the shallots are tender and opaque, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook until jammy, 9 to 13 minutes.
  • Increase heat to medium-high and stir in vermouth. Cook until about a third of the liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add Worcestershire and cream, and simmer, reducing heat if needed and stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens enough to coat a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Season scallops with salt and pepper, and add to the pan. Cook, uncovered, until scallops are just cooked through and opaque, 3 to 6 minutes, depending on the size of the scallops. Stir in chives and celery leaves. Serve immediately, garnished with more chives and celery leaves.

SURF AND TURF: SCALLOPS AND FILET MIGNON IN MUSHROOM CREAM SAUCE



Surf and Turf: Scallops and Filet Mignon in Mushroom Cream Sauce image

Here's a perfect date-night surf-and-turf menu you can cook together. We like scallops for the "surf" element instead of the usual lobster; they're a cinch to cook up if you use a hot pan with very little fat. We add well-seasoned steaks given a fast sear for juiciness and topped with a versatile, savory mushroom sauce. Asparagus makes the perfect quick-and-elegant side.

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

Two 8-ounce filet mignons, about 1 inch thick
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil or canola oil
2 cloves garlic, unpeeled and smashed
4 sprigs fresh thyme
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 1/2 cups cremini mushrooms, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, unpeeled
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 pound asparagus, ends trimmed
1 clove garlic, unpeeled
1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup rice flour or all-purpose flour
8 to 10 dry sea scallops (see Cook's Note)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons canola oil

Steps:

  • For the perfect filet mignon: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat a 10- to 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Combine the sugar, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture over all sides of the steaks and drizzle with oil.
  • Place the steaks in the hot skillet and sear until GBD (golden, brown and delicious), 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the steaks with tongs. Add the garlic cloves, thyme and rosemary to the skillet. Place the pan in the oven and roast until the steaks reach the desired doneness, 6 to 10 minutes for medium-rare; an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of a steak should register 125 degrees F for medium-rare, 135 degrees F for medium and 145 degrees F for medium-well.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven and add the butter. As the butter melts, baste it over the steaks and herbs. Cover the steaks loosely with foil and rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • For the mushroom cream sauce: Heat a large skillet over high heat until hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Swirl in the butter until melted. Add the mushrooms and season with a healthy pinch of salt and pepper. Grate the garlic over the mushrooms with a rasp grater. Stir occasionally until the mushrooms release liquid, about 3 minutes. Stir in the wine and scrape the bottom of the skillet. Cook until the pan is almost bone dry, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
  • Stir in the broth, cream and thyme. Lower the heat until the sauce simmers. Season with salt and pepper and simmer until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • For the asparagus with lemon and garlic: Heat a large skillet over high heat until very hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Swirl in the oil. Add the asparagus and cook for 30 seconds. Grate the garlic and lemon zest over the asparagus with a rasp grater. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the edges of the asparagus start to brown but the spears are still crisp, about 3 minutes longer.
  • Sprinkle the asparagus with a fat pinch of salt and pepper. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice of half over the asparagus. Stir and season with more salt and pepper if desired.
  • For the seared sea scallops: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Place the flour on a plate. Use paper towels to dry the scallops well. Season them with salt and pepper, then lightly coat them on all sides with flour.
  • Add the oil to the skillet and swirl to coat the entire pan. Carefully place the scallops in the hot skillet. Let them sear without disturbing them until browned on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until warm in the middle, about 1 minute longer. Transfer the scallops to a paper towel-lined plate until ready to serve.
  • To serve, place a steak whole or sliced on each plate. Arrange the scallops and some of the asparagus on each plate. Smother the steak with the mushroom sauce and serve.

SCALLOPS IN GARLIC CREAM SAUCE



Scallops in Garlic Cream Sauce image

I didn't really get this recipe from anyone, it's just (for as long as I can remember) one of the basic ways that I have always prepared scallops. It's easy, quick to prepare and the sauce really complements the scallops. I've prepared this with and without the wine (on those rare occasions when I happened to be out of my favorite white wine), and it is just as delicious either way. That's why I listed that ingredient as optional.

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb scallops
2 -3 tablespoons butter
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 scallions or 2 green onions, sliced thinly
1/4 cup white wine (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup cream

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a pan over medium-low heat; add the garlic, parsley, scallions (or green onions), wine, salt and pepper. Cover; simmer 10 minutes.
  • Add the scallops; simmer for another 5 minutes.
  • Remove cover; stir in the cream. Continuing heating, but do not boil, stirring constantly until sauce begins to thicken.
  • Serve immediately while scallops are hot. Spoon excess sauce from pan and drizzle it over the scallops.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are plump and firm, with a slightly sweet smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Sear the scallops properly. Searing the scallops creates a golden-brown crust and helps to lock in the juices. To sear the scallops, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  • Don't overcook the scallops. Scallops are very delicate and can easily be overcooked. Overcooked scallops will be tough and rubbery. Cook the scallops for just 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and cooked through.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the scallops and vegetables. If the sauce is too thin, it will not adhere to the scallops and will make the dish watery. To thicken the sauce, use a cornstarch slurry or a roux (a mixture of butter and flour).
  • Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are still hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Scallops with Golden Cream Sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The scallops are perfectly seared and the sauce is rich and creamy. This dish is sure to impress your guests!
