Scallops And Wild Rice Recipes

CAJUN SCALLOPS AND RICE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the scallion whites and jalapeno and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups water, the rice, bay leaf and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Increase the heat to medium high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low; stir, then cover and simmer until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the greens. Cover and set aside.
• Season the scallops with salt and sprinkle one side with the Cajun seasoning. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil, then the scallops, spice-side down; cook until browned and crisp, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until just cooked through, about 1 minute.
• Stir the parsley and scallion greens into the rice and season with salt. Serve with the scallops and lemon wedges.

SCALLOPS WITH RICE

Steps:

• Assemble and prepare all ingredients
• In a 5-quart casserole, melt butter, cook onion until translucent. Remove and reserve.
• In casserole, heat oil and cook rice until it is well coated and begins to turn golden. Add reserved onion, parsley, and seasonings. Cover.
• In a saucepan, heat wine with thyme and bay leaf. Add scallops and enough boiling water to cover. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove and reserve scallops; strain and reserve broth.
• Add 2 cups of broth to rice mixture in casserole; if necessary, add more boiling water to have 2 cups. Stir once, cover, bake at 350 F for 20 minutes.
• Stir in scallops, cover, and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

JUMBO SEARED SCALLOPS AND WILD RICE

Steps:

• Start by adding some flavorful vegetable broth to a medium sized pot
• Next, add some extra virgin olive oil to a cast iron pan. I like to add a few tablespoons of grass fed ghee.
• Add your red onion. I like to chop half of the onion and cut the other half in half-moon shape. Cook down the onion until translucent. 3-5 minutes later, add chopped garlic
• Stir your rice often to ensure it doesn't burn. Once rice is fully cooked (usually 30 minutes or so). Add rice to your onion mixture in the cast iron pan.
• Plate your wild rice in the center of the dinner plate. Make sure to pat your scallops until they are fully dry
• Now its time to sear your scallops. Make sure they are dry, add some pasture raised ghee to your cast iron. Place the scallops on the hot surface. You'll want to sear each side for 2-3 minutes. Don't move the scallops once you place them. This will give your scallops that perfect brown sear.
• Finally, plate your scallops around the wild rice. I typically give 2-3 per person. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!

SCALLOPS AND WILD RICE

Steps:

• Cook rice according to package. Set aside. Combine buter, lemon juice and celery salt in a large skillet. Bring to a boil. Add scallops. Cook over high heat, stirring constantly, until scallops are done - about 6 - 8 minutes. Serve over cooked rice.

CAJUN WILD RICE

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine the wild rice, chicken broth, water, sausage, onion, mushrooms and garlic. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, or until rice is tender. Remove from the heat, and stir in the cream of mushroom soup. It's that easy!

CREAMED SCALLOPS AND MUSHROOMS WITH RICE

Steps:

• Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle scallops with salt and pepper. Add to skillet; sauté until just opaque in center, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer scallops to bowl.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add mushrooms, 1/2 cup green onions and cayenne to skillet. Sauté until mushrooms are tender and brown, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle flour into skillet; stir 30 seconds. Add clam juice and cream; simmer until sauce thickens enough to coat spoon, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add scallops. Stir until heated through, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place rice in shallow bowl; top with scallop mixture, then 1/4 cup green onions.
