If you are looking for fast and easy, try this scallop recipe! You can make sautéed scallops in less than 10 minutes: just sauté them and sprinkle with a little lemon juice and fresh thyme and serve. For a bit more flavor and glamour - but still quite easy - serve the version below. Ingredients:
1 lb bay scallops |
1 salt |
1 pepper |
2 tbsp butter (divided into two pieces) |
1 tsp olive oil |
2 tbsp minced shallot |
1/4 cup white wine |
2 tbsp lemon juice |
1 tsp chopped thyme |
Directions:
1. Rinse scallops and pat dry. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
2. Add oil and 1 tablespoon butter to a large skillet; heat over medium high heat about 1 minute. Add scallops to pan, a few at a time, cooking 1-2 minute per side or until they are golden brown on the outside but still translucent in the middle. Place scallops on a heated platter and cover with foil.
3. Return skillet to burner and add shallots and cook for about 2 minutes. Add wine, lemon juice and thyme to pan and cook another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in remaining tablespoon of butter. Return scallops to the pan and toss with the sauce. Serve immediately.
4. Note: You can sauté scallops in olive oil or other oil only; adding some butter, however, gives them a nice golden brown color.
