RAW SCALLOPS ON BACON



Raw Scallops on Bacon image

Salty and sweet, crisp and tender, bacon and scallops pair well together in this impossibly easy dish. Any time you cook with a limited ingredient list, you want to select good-quality items, especially when working with raw seafood. Many store-bought scallops are soaked in a phosphate solution that plumps them up with water (and increases the price), so it's important to look for scallops that are labeled "dry" or "dry-packed," since a phosphate-marinated scallop can taste soapy. Since the scallops are served over bacon, season them frugally with just a hint of salt.

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 slices bacon, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 pound large sea scallops, (about 16), sliced in half crosswise to form 2 rounds
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons minced shallot, (about 2 shallots)
1 cup white wine
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Heat a large saute pan over medium-low heat, and add bacon. Cook slowly, stirring frequently, until brown and crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, and transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
  • Drain excess fat, leaving a thin coat on bottom of pan. Increase heat to medium, add scallops to pan, and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until golden brown and opaque, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Transfer scallops to the serving dish, and add shallots to pan. When shallots are translucent, add white wine; scrape browned bits from bottom of pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until liquid is reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in butter, and pour over scallops; top with reserved bacon. Serve over ribbon zucchini.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 slices bacon (about 2 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/2 pounds sea scallops, muscle removed (see Cook's Note)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and fry the bacon pieces until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Reserve the bacon fat in the skillet and transfer the bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Meanwhile, arrange the scallops so they lay flat and are evenly spaced on a plate. Pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Season the scallops with salt and pepper.
  • Cook the scallops, undisturbed, over high heat until they are golden brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip the scallops and cook for 1 minute more. Turn off the heat, add the lemon zest and juice, parsley and reserved bacon pieces and toss to combine. Divide the scallops among 4 plates or a serving platter and serve immediately.
