Easy And Elegant Sea Scallops Recipes

Steps:

• Pat sea scallops dry with paper towels. Season with some lemon juice, salt, and pepper on one side.
• Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over high heat. Place scallops in the skillet seasoned-side down. Cook until browned on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Season with remaining lemon juice, salt, and pepper; flip. Continue cooking until opaque, about 2 minutes more. Garnish with lemon zest.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, oregano, thyme and lemon pepper. Roll scallops in flour mixture until lightly coated on all sides.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet or frying pan over high heat. Add 4 scallops to the pan and sear on all sides (about 2 minutes for each side). After turning scallops, add 1 tablespoon parsley and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Remove scallops from pan and place on a plate in the oven to keep warm until ready to serve.
• Repeat until remaining scallops are cooked, tossing each batch with parsley and lemon juice.

Steps:

• Heat oil and butter together in a skillet. Add mushrooms, onion, pepper, parsley and salt to taste. Saute on medium heat until mushrooms are tender (about 8 minutes). Meanwhile, mince garlic. After mushrooms are tender, add garlic to pan. Cook 2 minutes more.
• Add scallops and sherry. Cook over a very high heat until sherry is reduced by half, turning scallops once (approximately 2 minutes per side). When finished, the scallops will be covered with an elegant light brown glaze.
