Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 large sea scallops (preferably dry-packed), side muscle removed (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups shelled fresh peas (from about 1 1/2 pounds pods) or frozen peas
3 ounces bacon (about 3 slices), cut crosswise into 1/3-inch strips
1 medium shallot, cut crosswise into thin rings
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon (or more) olive oil
3 tablespoons mint leaves, coarsely chopped, divided

Steps:

  • Place scallops on a paper towel-lined plate and pat very dry with additional paper towels. Season both sides with 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper total.
  • Bring 1 cup water to a boil, covered, in a small pot. Add peas and 1/2 tsp. salt; cook until peas are bright green and tender, about 2 minutes for fresh and 4 minutes for frozen. Drain peas through a strainer set over a bowl; reserve cooking liquid.
  • Meanwhile, add bacon to a large skillet and heat over medium-high. Cook bacon, stirring occasionally, until fat starts to render, about 3 minutes. Add shallot and cook, stirring, until softened and lightly browned and bacon is crisp, about 3 minutes more. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon and shallot to a small bowl, reserving fat in skillet. Add 1/2 cup cooked peas to bacon mixture.

  • Heat skillet with reserved fat over high until just barely smoking. Working in batches and adding more oil if necessary, sear scallops until a golden brown crust has formed and scallop releases from skillet, about 3 minutes per side.

SPICY SCALLOP AND SNOW PEA STIR-FRY



Spicy Scallop and Snow Pea Stir-Fry image

It's scallops season here in Maine! Our local supermarket chain (Hannaford's) included the following recipe in their monthly magazine. Outstanding!

Provided by lecole54

Categories     Chinese

Time 32m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 tablespoons water, divided
2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, crushed (or to taste)
1 teaspoon canola oil
1 lb scallops (sea)
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, peeled and grated
1 orange bell pepper, cut into thin 2-inch lengths
1/2 lb snow peas
1 scallion, thinly sliced (optional garnish)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of the water with soy sauce, vinegar, and cornstarch until evenly blended. Whisk in sugar and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Swirl to coat pan. When hot, add scallops. Cook undisturbed for 3 minutes until golden brown on one side. Transfer scallops to a plate and cover with foil. Set aside.
  • Add garlic, ginger, bell pepper, snow peas, and remaining 2 tablespoons of water to the pan. Cook and stir until snow peas become bright green. Rewhisk sauce and add it to the pan along with reserved scallops. The sauce will quickly thicken as it simmers. Toss and stir until vegetables are coated with sauce and scallops are done cooking, about 1 minute.
  • Divide among 4 bowls and garnish with sliced scallions, if desired. Serve with rice.

Tips:

  • To ensure the scallops are cooked evenly, sear them in a single layer. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the scallops will steam instead of sear.
  • Use a hot pan and high heat to sear the scallops. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Don't overcook the scallops. They should be cooked through but still slightly translucent in the center. Overcooked scallops will be tough and chewy.
  • If you don't have snow peas, you can use other vegetables such as asparagus, broccoli, or green beans.
  • Serve the scallops and snow peas immediately with your favorite sauce or seasoning.

Conclusion:

These scallops with snow peas are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The scallops are seared until golden brown and then tossed with snow peas and a simple sauce. The dish is light and flavorful, and it can be served as an appetizer or a main course.
