Scallops In Rosemary Cream Sauce Recipes

SEARED ROSEMARY SCALLOPS

Steps:

• If using rosemary branches, remove leaves from all but top 3 inches of each branch. In a small bowl stir together chopped rosemary, paprika, and cayenne. Remove tough muscle from side of each scallop if necessary and pat scallops dry. Season scallops with salt and sprinkle with rosemary mixture. Thread 4 scallops onto each rosemary branch or bamboo skewer.
• In a large non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté scallops until golden and just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
• Serve scallops with potato salad and mango salsa.

ROSEMARY-GRILLED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Pull off and discard crescent-shaped muscle on side of each scallop that has one. Strip leaves off bottom 2 inches of rosemary sprigs (slide them off with your thumb and forefinger). Reserve leaves, and set sprigs aside. Cut prosciutto into strips just large enough to wrap around scallops (about 1 by 3 inches).
• Lay a scallop flat on a work surface. Wrap a piece of prosciutto around it. Skewer a rosemary sprig through prosciutto and scallop to other side. Repeat with remaining scallops. Arrange scallops in a baking dish. Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice on both sides, sprinkle with rosemary leaves and season with salt and pepper. (Go easy on salt, as prosciutto is fairly salty.) Marinate for 15 minutes, while you light grill.
• Set up grill for direct grilling, and preheat to high. Brush and oil grate. Arrange scallops on grate, and grill until just cooked, about 2 minutes a side. Serve at once.

TAGLIERINI WITH CARAMELIZED SCALLOPS AND ROSEMARY BEURRE BLANC

Steps:

• In an 8-quart kettle bring 7 quarts of salted water to a boil for pasta. Remove tough muscle from side of each scallop if necessary.
• Make beurre blanc:
• In a small heavy saucepan simmer wine, vinegar, shallot, garlic, and rosemary until reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Add cream and simmer until liquid is reduced by about half. Add butter all at once and cook over moderately low heat, swirling pan constantly, just until creamy and butter is incorporated. (Sauce must not get hot enough to liquify. It should be the consistency of hollandaise.) Remove pan from heat and stir in lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
• Pat scallops dry and season with salt and pepper. In a 12-inch heavy skillet heat 1 tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Arrange half of scallops, without crowding, in skillet and cook, undisturbed, 1 to 2 minutes, or until undersides are golden brown. Turn scallops over and cook, undisturbed, 1 to 2 minutes, or until undersides are golden brown. Transfer scallops to a bowl and keep warm. Cook remaining scallops in remaining oil in the same manner.
• Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente (about 30 seconds for fresh, longer for dried) and drain in a colander. Transfer pasta to a heated bowl and pour sauce through a fine sieve onto pasta. Add any liquid accumulated in bowl of scallops and toss.
• Divide pasta among 6 heated plates. Arrange scallops on top of pasta and garnish with herbs.

SCALLOPS IN CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the leeks nearly to the white part, with about 2 inches of green remaining; remove the outside layer. With a knife, make several cuts in the leeks so the sand will come out more easily when cleaned. Wash thoroughly.
• Chop the leeks; you should have about 1 1/4 cups. Slice the mushrooms. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet. Add the leeks and saute over high heat. Add onion; shake the skillet to coat. Add salt, pepper, mushrooms, lemon juice, thyme sprigs and wine, and cook until most of the wine has evaporated. Add half-and-half. Stir and simmer.
• Using fingers, mix together the remaining tablespoon of butter (softened) and the cornstarch.
• Add scallops to the skillet. Cook over medium heat 2 minutes.
• Add the butter and cornstarch mixture to the skillet. Continue cooking and stirring. Add the parsley and blend. Remove thyme sprigs and serve.
