Pan Seared Scallops Corn And Tomatoes Recipes

CREAMY PAN-ROASTED SCALLOPS WITH FRESH TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add the butter, letting it melt. Add shallots, celery seeds and a pinch each salt and pepper, and cook until the shallots are tender and opaque, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook until jammy, 9 to 13 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium-high and stir in vermouth. Cook until about a third of the liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add Worcestershire and cream, and simmer, reducing heat if needed and stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens enough to coat a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Season scallops with salt and pepper, and add to the pan. Cook, uncovered, until scallops are just cooked through and opaque, 3 to 6 minutes, depending on the size of the scallops. Stir in chives and celery leaves. Serve immediately, garnished with more chives and celery leaves.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH CORN CREAM

Steps:

• Stir corn kernels, chicken broth, 2 tablespoons butter, cayenne pepper, and salt together in a saucepan; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until corn is tender, about 5 minutes.
• Pour corn mixture into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth. Pour pureed corn mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a saucepan. Season with salt to taste.
• Toss scallops, Fresno pepper, canola oil, kosher salt, and smoked paprika in a bowl until scallops are completely coated. Separate pepper slices from scallops.
• Heat a large heavy skillet over high heat until very hot, about 5 minutes. Cook scallops in hot skillet until browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Cook and stir sliced peppers on the side of the skillet while the scallops are cooking.
• Remove skillet from heat; transfer scallops to a plate, leaving peppers in hot skillet. Stir water and 1 tablespoon butter into peppers until butter melts. Drizzle lemon juice over peppers; stir to glaze peppers completely.
• Divide corn cream between four bowls. Place 3 scallops over corn puree and top with glazed peppers. Garnish with radish sprouts.

PAN-SEARED SCALLOPS WITH CHORIZO AND CORN

Steps:

• Cut kernels from corncobs and place in a medium bowl. Using the back of a chef's knife, scrape milk from cobs into the bowl; discard cobs.
• Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a medium saucepan over medium. Cook chorizo, stirring occasionally, until it starts to get crisp, about 2 minutes. Carefully pour chorizo oil into a small bowl (use a slotted spoon to hold back chorizo); set chorizo oil aside. Return chorizo pan to medium heat and add scallions, garlic, chile, 1 Tbsp. olive oil, and 3/4 tsp. salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened but not browned, about 2 minutes. Add corn kernels and cook, stirring occasionally, until bright yellow and softened, 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let corn mixture cool in pan 5 minutes. Gently mix in buttermilk and cilantro. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
• Season scallops generously with salt. Heat reserved chorizo oil and remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until just beginning to smoke. Cook scallops on one side, reducing heat if they are taking on too much color and moving around in pan for even browning, until a golden brown crust forms on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and turn scallops over. Add butter to skillet and, using a spoon, baste scallops with butter 30 seconds. Transfer scallops to a plate. Squeeze halved lime over.
• Divide corn mixture among plates and arrange scallops on top. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.

PAN SEARED SCALLOPS WITH SWEET YELLOW CORN AND BLACK TRUFFLE SUCCOTASH WITH RED PEPPER NAGE

Steps:

• For the corn: Add the milk and 2 cups water to a 3- to 4-quart pot and bring to a simmer. Add the butter, salt and sugar and cook until the butter has melted. Add the corn, cover, and cook until tender, about 45 minutes.
• Remove the corn from the pot and cool down enough to handle, then cut off the kernels with a knife. (Hint: it will be easier to remove the kernels from the cob if still warm.)
• For the red pepper nage: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Mix together the oil, shallots, garlic, peppers, tomatoes, thyme and salt and white pepper to taste, making sure to coat all the ingredients evenly with the oil.
• Lay all the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes. Transfer to a blender and mix until smooth.
• Heat the heavy cream in a saucepot and bring to a boil. Pour the cream into the vegetable mixture and blend until incorporated. Strain the nage through a fine-mesh strainer.
• For the scallops: Heat 1 teaspoon of the grapeseed oil in a saute pan until hot (about 350 degrees F), and then sear the scallops until golden brown on both sides.
• Heat the remaining oil in a separate saute pan. Add the garlic and shallots and cook until soft, and then add the corn and cook for a few minutes. Turn down the heat and add the truffles, if using, the chives and tomatoes. Just before serving, add the butter and cook until melted and incorporated. Season with salt and white pepper.
• To plate this dish, we use an 8-inch round white plate. First, place a small amount of the corn succotash in the center of the dish. Place the browned scallops directly onto the corn. Finally, spoon a few ounces of the red pepper nage around the corn and serve.
