Seared scallops are a great dish because they cook super fast but still feel like a really sophisticated dish. Serve them over rice and drizzle with pan sauce. Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds sea scallops |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided |
1/3 cup tawny port or other sweet red wine |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, divided |
5 garlic cloves, minced |
2 cups hot cooked long-grain rice |
Directions:
1. Sprinkle scallops with salt and pepper. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a 10-inch cast-iron or heavy skillet over high heat until very hot (about 3 minutes). Add half of scallops; cook 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove scallops from pan; keep warm. Repeat procedure with 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and remaining scallops. Remove scallops from pan.
2. Stir in port and lemon juice, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add scallops, 3 tablespoons parsley, and garlic; saute 30 seconds over high heat. Serve scallops over rice. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon parsley.
