Butter Rum Scallops Recipes

SAUTEED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• In a medium size saucepan melt butter over medium-high heat. Add crushed garlic and whole sprigs of rosemary to the saucepan. Add scallops, cook for 2 minutes on each side (or until desired consistency). Remove the garlic and rosemary from pan. Serve.

HOT BUTTERED RUM

Steps:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, combine butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla. Microwave until smooth. Mix in the ice cream. Place in a sealable container and freeze.
• When ready to use, spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons of the base into a mug. Pour in 1 shot of dark rum and 1 cup of hot water for each serving.

BUTTER-RUM SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; add bay scallops. Cook, turning once, until seared, about 3 minutes total. Remove scallops, leaving butter in pan. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter, rum, and honey; cook, stirring, until butter melts, about 1 minute. Return scallops to pan, season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally to warm scallops, 1 minutes. Stir in spinach and mint, cook, stirring until slightly, until wilted, about 1 minute.

SCALLOPS WITH ORANGE-BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Season scallops with salt and pepper; cook until browned and opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; cover loosely with foil. Cut orange segments into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Reduce heat to medium, add wine to skillet, and cook 30 seconds. Add butter and 3 tablespoons orange juice and cook, swirling, until sauce is thickened, 1 minute. Remove from heat and add chives and orange pieces. Season with salt and pepper and spoon over scallops and couscous.

SAUTEED SCALLOPS IN PINEAPPLE/RUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Chop the chunk pineapple to about quarter inch bits, mix with crushed pineapple and set aside.
• Reduce rum and brown sugar. At the same time, reduce white wine and shallots by half. Then combine both parts and continue to reduce, adding cream. When mixture thickens, whip in chunks of butter. Add pineapple. Set sauce aside, keeping warm.
• Mix panko and nuts together in a bowl.
• Lightly beat egg in a bowl with a little added cream.
• Rinse scallops and pat dry with paper towels.
• Dip scallops in egg, dredge in panko/nut mixture, and saute in butter until golden - about two to four minutes.
• Spoon some sauce on a plate. Place cooked scallops on sauce, spoon some sauce over them and serve.
• This recipe makes enough sauce for two or three pounds of scallops, but saves quite well refrigerated.
