Lobster Scallops And Mussels With Tomato Garlic Vinaigrette Recipes

LOBSTER, SCALLOPS, AND MUSSELS WITH TOMATO GARLIC VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Bring an 8- to 10-quart pot of water to a boil, then plunge 2 lobsters headfirst into water and boil, covered, 6 minutes from time they enter water. Transfer with tongs to a shallow baking pan to cool, then boil remaining 2 lobsters.
• When lobsters are cool enough to handle, twist off tails, claws, and knuckles and remove meat, discarding bodies and shells. Cut tail meat crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices. Put lobster meat in a large bowl.
• Bring wine, water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a simmer in a wide heavy medium pot. Add scallops and poach at a bare simmer, uncovered, until scallops are just cooked through (opaque), 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to bowl with lobster.
• Return liquid to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add mussels and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until mussels just open wide, checking frequently after 4 minutes and transferring to bowl with seafood. (Discard any mussels that remain unopened after 6 minutes.)
• Strain cooking liquid through a sieve lined with a dampened paper towel. Rinse pot, then return liquid to pot and boil until reduced to 1 cup, about 8 minutes.
• Heat oil, garlic, vinegar, 1/2 cup reduced seafood liquid, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart nonreactive saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until warm, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook until they just begin to wilt but still hold their shape, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Pour hot vinaigrette over seafood and stir gently to coat. Marinate, covered and chilled, at least 2 hours. Bring to room temperature, about 30 minutes, before serving.

SEA SCALLOPS WITH GARLIC AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Place the scallops in a bowl, and add the milk. Stir to coat, and let stand briefly.
• Place the flour in a flat dish. Add salt and pepper; blend well. Drain the scallops, and dredge them in the flour mixture. Place the flour-coated scallops in a large sieve. Shake to remove any excess flour. Scatter the scallops onto a sheet of foil or wax paper so that they do not touch, or they may stick together.
• Heat the olive oil in a saucepan. Add the garlic, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Add the vinegar, and bring to a sizzle. Simmer for 2 minutes.
• Heat the vegetable oil over high heat in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the scallops in one layer. Add the scallops, and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Spoon equal portions of the scallops onto warm plates, and pour some of the tomato sauce over each portion. Sprinkle each with an equal amount of chopped basil or parsley, and serve with noodles.
