SEARED SCALLOPS WITH CORN CREAM



Seared Scallops with Corn Cream image

This recipe for seared scallops on fresh corn cream shows that you can take a few seasonal ingredients, put them together simply and quickly, and produce something pretty special. There are three keys to producing sufficiently seared scallops. First, they must be perfectly dry. Second, the oil goes on the cold scallops, not in the hot pan. Third, your pan must be extremely hot, which means you have to use a very heavy, cast iron or stainless steel pan.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ears fresh white corn, kernels cut from cob
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
salt to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper
12 large sea scallops, rinsed and patted dry
1 red Fresno pepper, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon smoked paprika, or to taste
1 splash water
1 tablespoon butter, or more to taste
½ lemon, juiced
¼ cup radish sprouts, or to taste

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.

SHRIMP AND SCALLOPS WITH BACON



Shrimp and Scallops with Bacon image

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 raw jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined (16 to 20 count per pound)
12 raw large sea scallops, trimmed and well drained
Zest and juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil (a generous drizzle)
1 tablespoon grill seasoning, such as McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning, or coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
12 slices center-cut or applewood-smoked bacon, cut in half
Toothpicks
3 scallions, very thinly sliced on an angle

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Place the shrimp and scallops in a shallow dish or bowl. Dress the seafood with the lime juice and zest, sesame oil, grill seasoning, and hot red pepper flakes. Wrap each shrimp and scallop with a half slice of bacon. Wrap each shrimp from head to tail, pulling the bacon snuggly around the shrimp. Wrap the bacon around the outside of each scallop. Fasten the bacon in place with toothpicks.
  • Arrange the shrimp and scallops on a slotted baking pan, such as a broiler pan, to allow it to drain while the bacon crisps. Bake for 10 to 14 minutes, until the shrimp is pink and curled, the scallops are opaque, and the bacon is crisp. Check after 8 minutes; the shrimp might finish before the scallops.
  • Arrange the cooked seafood on a platter and sprinkle with chopped scallions.
