Sauteed Scallops In White Wine With Sun Dried Tomatoes And Garlic Recipes

SCALLOPS WITH CAPERS AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and lemon peel and sauté 30 seconds. Add scallops and sauté until almost cooked through, turning once, about 3 minutes. Transfer scallops to bowl using slotted spoon. Add sun-dried tomatoes, capers, lemon juice and thyme to same skillet. Boil until liquid thickens, adding any accumulated juices from scallops to skillet, about 2 minutes. Add butter and whisk just until melted. Season to taste with salt. Return scallops to skillet and stir just until heated through. Transfer scallops and sauce to plates and serve.

DATE NIGHT BAY SCALLOP FETTUCCINE WITH WHITE WINE AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender, yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place bacon pieces in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
• Add minced garlic to the remaining bacon grease and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add bread crumbs and cook until golden, about 30 seconds more. Remove panko-garlic mixture to a small bowl.
• Blot dry bay scallops with a paper towel. Season bay scallops with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
• Cook bay scallops in the same skillet until nicely golden, about 2 minutes. Pour in white wine and cream. Stir to combine. Add spinach, Parmesan Cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and crumble in cooked bacon; stir to combine.
• Drain pasta, reserving 1/3 cup pasta water. Add fettuccine noodles to the skillet with scallop mixture and mix to combine. If sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time to thin out sauce.
• Plate fettuccine mixture and garnish with toasted panko and microgreens, if desired. Serve immediately.

SAUTéED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Place a large sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat, and add to it 3 tablespoons of the butter. When it has melted and started to foam, place the scallops in the pan in a single layer, and season with a pinch or two of salt.
• Cook scallops without moving until the bottoms are golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes, then turn them over, add the wine and cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
