Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/2 pound linguini
1 pound sea scallops
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus some for drizzling
3 tablespoons butter, divided
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 springs fresh thyme, leaves removed and chopped
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup seafood stock or clam juice
25 leaves fresh basil, shredded or torn
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley, a handful
1 lemon, zested and juiced
4 cups baby arugula or any mixed greens
1/2 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, cut in 1/2
Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil
Splash balsamic vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Strawberries
Split of Champagne, perfect for 2

Steps:

  • Place a large pot of water over high heat and bring up to a boil for the pasta. Once at a boil add some salt and cook pasta to package directions. Hold off on starting the scallops until you drop your pasta.
  • Remove the mussel from the scallops then with a paper towel pat them dry and season them with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil, about 1 turn around the pan and 2 tablespoons of the butter. When butter melts into oil, add scallops. Brown scallops 2 minutes on each side, then remove from pan and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
  • Add an additional drizzle of olive oil to the skillet and add the garlic, shallots, crushed red pepper flakes, thyme, a little salt and pepper. Reduce heat a little and saute garlic and shallots 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add wine to the pan and free up any pan drippings. Reduce wine 1 minute, then add seafood stock. Continue to cook for about 1 minute. Add the basil, parsley, lemon zest and juice and the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, shake and stir the mixture until the butter has melted. Add the cooked linguini and cook for about 30 seconds, just to combine and let the pasta soak up the sauce.
  • Divide the pasta between 2 serving plates and top with reserved scallops.
  • For the side salad, in a bowl combine the arugula and tomatoes, drizzle with a little extra-virgin olive oil, a splash of balsamic vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and serve.
  • And for dessert, rinse strawberries and arrange on a plate. Serve with a glass of Champagne.

SAUTéED SCALLOPS



Sautéed Scallops image

Sea scallops and bay scallops differ in size and sweetness. They also cook a little differently. I love a good hard sear on a sea scallop, a little crust, and a splash of wine in the butter at the end to provide a silky acidity against the sweet of the meat. For the tiny, sweet bay scallop, though, I prefer a gentle butter bath. Whichever you cook, be very careful not to overcook. Indeed, there is almost no such thing as an undercooked scallop.

Categories     seafood, main course

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound sea scallops, patted dry
Kosher salt, to taste
1 tablespoon dry white vermouth or white wine
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place a large sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat, and add to it 3 tablespoons of the butter. When it has melted and started to foam, place the scallops in the pan in a single layer, and season with a pinch or two of salt.
  • Cook scallops without moving until the bottoms are golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes, then turn them over, add the wine and cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes.

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.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     seafood, main course

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh sea scallops. Fresh scallops have a sweet, briny flavor that is best preserved when cooked simply.
  • Sear the scallops in a hot pan. This will create a golden-brown crust and help to lock in the juices.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the scallops will not cook evenly and will become rubbery.
  • Cook the scallops for only a few minutes per side. Overcooking will toughen the scallops.
  • Use a flavorful liquid to deglaze the pan. This will add flavor to the sauce and help to prevent the scallops from sticking.
  • Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best enjoyed when they are hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Sea scallops are a delicious and versatile seafood that can be cooked in a variety of ways. The recipes in this article provide a range of options, from simple seared scallops to more complex dishes with sauces and accompaniments. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced cook, you are sure to find a recipe that you will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a special seafood dish, give sea scallops a try!
