DEEP-FRIED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Gather ingredients.
• If scallops are quite large, cut them so the sizes are fairly uniform.
• Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Remove the tough white side muscle if not already removed.
• Heat about 2 to 3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep, heavy cast-iron skillet, saucepan, or deep fryer to 350 F.
• Line a baking pan or baking sheet with 2 or 3 thicknesses of paper towels and set aside.
• In a bowl, combine flour, salt, paprika, and black pepper.
• In another bowl, whisk eggs with the milk.
• Put the fine breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
• Dip a few of the scallops in the seasoned flour mixture, then in the egg mixture, and then roll them in the breadcrumbs to coat. Repeat with the remaining scallops.
• Once the oil has reached the temperature (350 F), add several scallops―about 6 to 10 depending on the pan size―to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Take care not to overcook. They should be warm in the middle, but still moist.
• Remove them from the oil with a metal slotted spoon and transfer them to the paper-towel-lined pan. Shake the pan gently for a few seconds so the scallops roll around and excess oil is absorbed.
