Seared Scallops

Kosher salt

black pepper

olive oil

butter,

tbsp. parsley

Lemon wedges,

Do you use cast iron or nonstick skillets?

Easy to make and the garlic was a good recommendation.

It was delicious with a bit of olive oil and A tad  of butter with lemon pepper and fresh squeezed lemon! Sauté Jasmine Rice!

loved it with salt and pepper - everything plus a squeeze of lemon jouce.

I don’t do the sauce at the end and just top this with fresh rosemary or fresh Parsley Tastes great as is. No sauce needed. I usually serve over roasted veggies.

Used garlic rosemary salt, just a little butter and olive oil with a little fresh lemon juice at the end. They were soooooo good!!!! The best part was the scrapings from the pan.

Loved it! Added a little garlic with oil and butter  before adding scallops.  3 min each side cooked perfectly!

Very Easy!  I had never cooked scallops before this, but I will definitely make it again.  Delicious!

How To Sear Scallops Like A Boss — In Less Than 10 Minutes!

Restaurant-worthy scallop pasta comes together in just 20 minutes with this easy recipe. It&#39;s special enough for a special date night, but easy enough for a weeknight dinner.

Scallop Pasta

spaghetti

scallops

extra virgin olive oil

shallot, (finely chopped)

garlic cloves, (minced)

Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes

lemon,

milk

Parmesan

parsley leaves

Boil the pasta: Bring a medium pot of water to a rolling boil and season with a big pinch of kosher salt. Add the pasta and cook to al dente according to the package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water just before draining.

Sear the scallops: While the pasta boils, remove the scallops from your refrigerator. Pat them dry and season all over with salt and black pepper. When your pasta is halfway through boiling, heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and, once the oil begins to shimmer, add the scallops. Sear in batches if necessary so as not to crowd the pan. Cook, flipping until golden brown on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a rimmed plate and tent loosely with foil to keep warm.

Make the sauce: Leaving the skillet on medium-high, add 1/3 cup of olive oil. When the oil shimmers, add the shallot, garlic, Aleppo pepper and a pinch of salt. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring frequently until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water. Add the milk and parmesan and stir until everything comes together, about 1 minute.

Add the pasta to the sauce: Add the drained pasta, lemon zest, and parsley. Toss to coat. The pasta should look nice and glossy. If it’s dry, add a splash more of the pasta cooking water and give it a good stir.

Add the scallops: Add the scallops and any accumulated juices and toss very gently to incorporate. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more parmesan, salt, pepper, Aleppo, and lemon juice to your liking. Serve immediately.

A fancy feeling date-night recipe that comes together in just 20 minutes!

Easy, quickly sauteed scallops, nestled in a flavor-packed mixture of tomatoes and bell peppers! You’ll love the bold Mediterranean flavors in this scallops recipe–fresh tomatoes, shallots, capers, oregano and more.

Mediterranean Sautéed Scallops

shallot, (sliced)

red bell pepper, (cored,

green bell pepper, (cored,

grape tomatoes, (halved)

capers

Black pepper

oregano

cumin

paprika

sea scallops, (thawed completely if frozen, patted dry)

lemon

Parsley (chopped)

Sauté the shallot and peppers. In a large skillet, heat 2 to 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add shallot and bell peppers. Raise the heat to medium-high, and cook for about 3 minutes, tossing occasionally.

Add garlic, tomatoes, capers, and spices. Add minced garlic, tomatoes, and capers. Season with a pinch each of kosher salt and black pepper. Add oregano, cumin and paprika. Toss to combine. Cook until softened for another 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drop heat to the lowest setting to keep the vegetables warm while you work on scallops.

Sauté the scallops. In a second heavy skillet, heat another 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add scallops and cook for 2 minutes on one side, turn over and cook until browned, another 1 to 2 minutes.

Add the scallops to the vegetables. Transfer the scallops immediately into the pan with the vegetables, nestling them into the tomatoes and peppers.

Garnish and serve. Remove from heat, squeeze just a little bit of lemon juice over everything, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.

My wife made this last night and used penne pasta. Such a nice combination of flavors. We both enjoy it and will make this again for sure.
YUMMY!

This was fantastic!  The scallops were seared and cooked perfectly, I served over a bed of basmati rice.  I will definitely be making this dish again.

I'm going to cook this for my Christmas family gathering. Delectable !!!

Absolutely Delish! I have  made this recipe so many times, that I cannot even count. Nor can I count how many times I have made your baked sole fillet the Mediterrannean way, crispy pan seared salmon, Gambas al Ajillo Shrimp, Easy Shrimp Scampi &amp; more. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful creations &amp; incredible spices! I follow everything you do.

Delicious recipe . The flavors are amazing. Added spiralized zucchini  to the tomato pepper mixture. Then added the scallops. I will definitely make this again . Would be great with shrimp as well.

Delicious and super easy.  I made this for Valentine's Day for my wife.  I substituted out the paprika for a few shakes of the Aleppo-style pepper.  It gave it a nice warmth.  Served it over orzo.  What a great dish!
