Best 5 Thai Style Sea Scallop Cakes Recipes

THAI-STYLE SCALLOPS AND ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Combine the shallots, lemon grass, ginger, garlic, shrimp paste, coriander, lime zest and juice in a food processor or a large mortar. Thrash to a paste.
• Heat the oil in a heavy sauté pan on high. Add the seasoning paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the asparagus and stir. Add the scallops, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring gently, another 3 minutes. Add the fish stock, coconut milk and sriracha, simmer another 2 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt and more sriracha to taste. Serve with the steamed jasmine rice.

THAI STYLE CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Purée shrimp in a food processor (smaller is better) until you have a smooth paste, or chop and mash by hand. Add fish sauce. In a bowl, mix the shrimp purée, crab meat, egg, scallion, cilantro, chili, ginger and salt and pepper; add just enough bread crumbs to stiffen mixture a bit. Refrigerate mixture until you are ready to cook; it will be easier to shape into cakes if you refrigerate it for 30 minutes or more.
• Season flour with salt and pepper. Film bottom of a large skillet with oil and place over medium-high heat. Shape crab meat mixture into cakes 1 inch thick and as wide as you want. Dredge each in flour, and cook, adjusting heat as necessary and turning once (very gently), until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes a side. Serve with lime wedges.

THAI SCALLOP SALAD

Steps:

• Place the scallops on a large plate lined with a paper towel and pat dry. Combine the lime juice, shallot, chili sauce, fish sauce and 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large bowl; whisk to combine. Add the cabbage, cucumbers, radishes, apple and basil to the dressing and toss well to coat.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the scallops in an even layer (do not crowd the pan). Cook, undisturbed, until a golden crust forms on the bottom of the scallops, about 3 minutes. Flip the scallops (they should release easily from the pan; if they stick, cook 1 more minute). Cook until lightly browned on the other side, about 2 minutes.
• Divide the cabbage salad among plates and add the scallops. Top with the peanuts and serve with lime wedges.
