SEARED SEA SCALLOPS WITH GINGER-LIME BUTTER
Day-boat scallops, the kind that are dry-packed (never frozen or dosed with preservatives), are what you want for this decadent but very simple dish. The scallops are seared on cast iron, but gradually, for a crisp, well-browned surface that intensifies their natural sweetness. Ginger, lime and hot pepper enhance the rich meatiness of all fresh seafood, and here especially so. A roasted sweet potato and a pile of blanched bok choy complete this quintessentially elegant, fast-food meal.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Wash sweet potatoes and wrap them tightly in foil. Roast until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. (If you are using larger sweet potatoes, they may require 15 minutes more in the oven.)
- Using a paring knife, remove the small hard "foot" from the edge of each scallop. Pat scallops dry and season on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Put on a medium pot of salted water to boil for the greens.
- Meanwhile, make the ginger butter: Combine butter, ginger, chile and lime zest and juice and stir together until well incorporated. Season with salt to taste. Set aside.
- Take a cast-iron skillet large enough to hold the scallops without crowding and place over medium-high heat. Add a film of olive oil. When the oil is nearly smoking, add the scallops in one layer and let them sizzle. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook for at least 5 minutes. Use a small spatula to check the scallops as they brown, allowing them to color gradually. They should be quite crisp and well caramelized. Turn off heat and flip scallops. Leave in pan until firm to the touch.
- While the scallops are cooking, blanch the bok choy: Cook it for 1 minute in the salted boiling water, then drain and blot on a kitchen towel. Keep warm.
- Remove and place scallops, browned side up, onto warmed serving plates. Surround with the bok choy leaves and halved or sliced sweet potatoes.
- Quickly warm the butter in the cast-iron pan and spoon over everything. Sprinkle with cilantro if desired.

SAUTEED SCALLOPS
A very simple recipe for how delicious it is! Just crush the garlic with the side of a chef's knife blade instead of chopping it, and using whole sprigs of rosemary allows them to be easily removed before serving.

Steps:
- Choose a saute pan large enough to hold all of the scallops in one layer without overcrowding the pan or without them touching each other. Cook in batches if necessary. Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter until nearly smoking. Add the scallops and do not move or shake pan, but allow the scallops to brown well on one side before tossing the pan to flip them or gently turning them with a spatula to cook the second side.
- Remove the scallops from the pan and place on a warm serving platter. Return the pan in which the scallops had been cooked to the fire, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sweet butter, and cook until the butter begins to turn a light brown color. When the butter has browned to a hazelnut color add the lemon juice and chopped parsley.
- Pour the classic lemon butter over the scallops, garnish with heart-shaped croutons and serve promptly.
SEARED SCALLOPS, ORANGE RICE, AND CITRUS KEY LIME SAUCE
This is a very quick cooking dish with tons of flavor. Fresh sea scallops cook up so quick and I love to use some fragrant jasmine rice flavored with orange zest to compliment the flavors. Serve this sauteed snow peas or fresh roasted zucchini, something light and simple to compliment the light dish.

Steps:
- Scallops -- Now before you start anything, just take out the scallops from the fridge, rinse well and pat dry. Then season well with salt and pepper and set to the side so they get to room temperature You don't want to sear cold scallops.
- Rice -- Now even though it is quick cooking, the scallops take such little time we need to start the rice first. Now I happen to use the quick cooking, but you can use any Jasmine brand, quick cooking or not that you want. Just follow the directions for cooking the rice. But these are my changes. For the liquid, I use vegetable broth instead of water and I replace some of the broth with the juice of 1 orange, however much that will be depends on the size of the orange. Just make sure if it calls for 3 cups of liquid, use the orange juice and the rest should be the vegetable broth. This will just really help to flavor the rice as it cooks. I also add the zest of 1entire orange to the liquid as the rice cooks. Just cover and let cook as you sear the scallops.
- Scallops -- As the rice cooks, time to make the scallops. In a cast iron if you have one or a stainless pan (NO NON STICK) for this dish heat up 2 tablespoons of the the butter and 1 teaspoon olive oil to medium high heat and sear the scallops. Once you place them in the pan DO NOT move. They take about 2-3 minutes per side and when you can easily lift them, then it is time to turn. They don't take long and don't over cook. When they become opaque and firm to the touch they are done. They will also continue to cook once removed. They should be golden brown per side. Once done, remove to a plate and cover with foil.
- Rice -- Now the rice should be done. Add the scallions, butter, salt and pepper to taste if you want. Cover and set to the side. It is all done.
- Key Lime Sauce -- Now in the pan where you seared the scallops, add the garlic and saute just a minute. Then add the orange juice, key lime juice, honey, ginger, red pepper flakes and reduce on medium for 3-4 minutes to reduce. Then add in the cilantro, salt and pepper if needed and butter to glisten the sauce.
- Serve -- Serve the orange rice and top with 6 of the scallops per person and top with the key lime sauce. I love to garnish this with a lime and orange slice to let those know what is in the dish.
SAUTéED SCALLOPS WITH MUSHROOMS & SPINACH SAUCE
A quick, impressive dish that's easy to prepare and cook, creating stacks of flavour within minutes

Steps:
- Melt a knob of butter in a frying pan. Once sizzling, add the mushrooms and fry for just a min or two before adding the spinach. Cook on a high heat for about 1 min, allowing the leaves to wilt and soften. Drain the leaves and mushrooms in a sieve or small colander set over a bowl, pressing them gently in the sieve to release the juices (the juices will provide the base for the sauce, so don't discard them). Keep warm to one side.
- Heat the oil in a separate clean frying pan. When very hot, add the scallops. Sauté for a couple of mins without disturbing them at all, then add a knob of butter to the pan. Turn the scallops, season with salt and pepper, then baste with the sizzling butter. Continue to cook for a further couple of mins until the scallops are ready.
- While sautéing the scallops, return the saved spinach juices to the pan the spinach and mushrooms were cooked in, then whisk in the remaining knob of butter to create the sauce. Season with salt and pepper and a grating of nutmeg.
- Now finish in style: Arrange spinach and mushrooms on plates or in bowls, sit the scallops on top, then spoon the nutmeg spinach sauce around.

SAUTéED SCALLOPS WITH CRUSHED PEPPERCORNS
Sweet, meaty sea scallops are best in winter. Buy "dry-packed" fresh scallops - anything else has been doused in preservatives. This quick-cooking dish gets a boost from three types of peppercorns: green and black (both true pepper), and rose (not really pepper - they are the fruit of a different plant - but peppery nonetheless, and pretty, too). Crush the peppercorns in a mortar or grind very coarsely in a spice mill.

Steps:
- Place scallops on baking sheet or large plate and season lightly on both sides with salt. Mix together crushed black, green and rose peppercorns and sprinkle liberally over scallops on both sides.
- Put oil in a skillet large enough to hold all scallops without crowding (or use two skillets or work in batches) over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add scallops in one layer.
- Let scallops brown on one side, about 3 to 4 minutes. (Don't rush or they will stick to pan and won't brown properly.) Add butter and sherry, turn scallops and sear until cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Remove scallops to a serving platter and keep warm.
- Finish the sauce: Leaving skillet over medium-high heat, add crème fraîche. Simmer until slightly thickened, 2 minutes, then taste for salt.
- Spoon sauce over scallops and sprinkle with lime zest, lemon zest and mint. Garnish with a few whole rose peppercorns.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH PAN SAUCE

Steps:
- Cut 2 tablespoons of the butter into pea-sized pieces, put it on a small plate, and stick it in the freezer. Heat a large skillet over medium-heat high for 3 or 4 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and the olive oil and wait for the butter to melt.
- Pat the scallops dry with paper towels, add them to the pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper; work in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the skillet. Cook, turning once, until they are well browned on both sides but not quite cooked through, 2 minutes per side (less if the scallops are under 1 inch across; more if they're over). Transfer the scallops to a plate.
- Stir in the garlic, lemon juice, and wine and scrape all the brown bits off the bottom of the skillet with a spatula. Lower the heat to medium and cook until the liquid in the skillet thickens, a minute or two, then whisk in the butter you chilled in the freezer, one bit at a time, to make a creamy sauce, adding another tablespoon or two of liquid if necessary.
- Return the scallops to the skillet and add the chives. Adjust the heat so the sauce bubbles gently and toss to coat the scallops with the sauce. To serve, transfer the scallops to a platter and spoon the sauce over all.
- Variation:
- Seared Scallops With Cherry Tomatoes and Basil: Skip the lemon juice. Cut 1 pint cherry tomatoes in half. Add the tomatoes with the garlic and wine and cook until they wrinkle a bit and release their juice, 2 or 3 minutes. Use chopped fresh basil leaves instead of chives.
- Cooks' Notes
- Releasing From The Pan: The scallops will offer no resistance when they're ready to turn. Press down gently while the scallops cook to encourage full contact with the pan, then listen for a hiss: That's moisture heating and evaporating.
- Getting A Good Sear: The idea is to brown the scallops well on both sides without overcooking them, so keep the heat as high as you can without creating too much smoke.
- Building Sauce With Butter: After you add the liquid and deglaze the pan, the addition of butter develops fantastic creaminess and richness.
- Finishing The Dish: As soon as the scallops are cooked through completely and coated with the sauce, remove the pan from the heat; they will continue to cook. Nick-and-peek into one if you need to check for doneness.
