  • Seared scallops are a dish that many of us only eat in restaurants, but it doesn't have to be that way. In my opinion, the best way to cook scallops only requires good scallops and a really hot pan. Scallops and the accompanying scampi sauce that I'm going to show you in this video are super easy and should demystify the process and turn you into an at home scallop searing machine.

    🔪MY GEAR:
    APRON: amzn.to/37rXqgC
    BOOS BLOCK CUTTING BOARD: amzn.to/341OgnD
    LODGE CAST IRON SKILLET: amzn.to/3jw4oVf
    MASAHIRO CHEF'S KNIFE: amzn.to/3cSFkFm
    4" NONSTICK SAUTE PAN: amzn.to/3mWF5h3
    FOR THIS RECIPE YOU'LL NEED:
    ▪Large U 10-12 fresh scallops (frozen will work if you can't find fresh)
    ▪High smoke point oil (enough to coat the bottom of whatever pan you're using)
    Remove adductor muscle, dry all sides of scallops well, season generously with salt. Preheat oil in large cast iron pan over med-high.
    Lay in scallops in the pan one at a time and firmly press. Sear for about 90 seconds. Flip to the second side and continue to sear for about 60 more seconds. Finish by basting for about 30 seconds with the hot oil in the pan. Scallops should reach about 130F/54C.
    SCAMPI SAUCE
    ▪30g or 2 1/4 tbsp olive oil
    ▪40g or 4tbsp shallot
    ▪5g or 1 3/4tsp minced garlic (about 2 cloves)
    ▪pinch chili flake
    ▪3g or 1 1/8tsp ap flour
    ▪75g or 1/3c dry white wine
    ▪100g or 1/3-1/2c clam juice
    ▪60g or 4 1/4tbsp cold butter
    ▪Zest of 1 small lemon
    ▪5g or 1 1/3tbsp chopped parsley
    ▪pinch salt
    Wipe out pan well then whisk oil, shallot, garlic and chili flake for about 90 seconds or until the mixture is becoming translucent. Add in flour, whisk, and cook for about 20 seconds before adding wine to deglaze. Bring to a simmer to reduce the liquid and thicken (about 30 seconds). Add clam juice, turn heat to low and allow to thicken and reduce for another 20 seconds or so. Whisk in cold butter to emulsify. Off heat, whisk in lemon zest. Add parsley and pinch of salt. Stir to combine. Serve over scallops.

    The universe is crazy, I just found your channel today. But the week before mother's day I made my mom scallops from whole foods in St. Louis with basically the same recipe. Only difference is I used the water from the thawed scallops as stock and used butter for the whole process instead of oil. No parsley but I finished with cilantro and fresh lime juice.

Fettuccini Alfredo, with fresh or homemade pasta, topped with pan-seared sea or bay scallops is a regular comfort food in my house. You threw me off with your scampi, which I've always known as shrimp or prawn or Norwegian lobster. But shall definitely give this a go very soon.

    One small humbly suggested refinement. Skip the flour and add a small amount of potato starch to the clam juice. IMHO potato starch is the best universal sauce thickener for butter sauces. Accomplishes the same result (keeping the butter from breaking) with a little less fuss.
