Pan Seared Parmesan Scallops Recipes

Steps:

• Remove the small side muscle from the scallops, rinse with cold water and thoroughly pat dry.
• Add the butter and oil to a 12 to 14-inch saute pan on high heat. Salt and pepper the scallops. Once the fat begins to smoke, gently add the scallops, making sure they are not touching each other. Sear the scallops for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. The scallops should have a 1/4-inch golden crust on each side while still being translucent in the center. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic salt, and black pepper together in a bowl.
• Pour olive oil into a shallow bowl.
• Rinse scallops under cold water, then dip into the olive oil.
• Press scallops into bread crumb mixture. Gently toss between your hands so any bread crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place the breaded scallops onto a plate while breading the rest.
• Place the scallops in the refrigerator to allow the breading to set, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Brush the scallops lightly with more olive oil.
• Grill on the preheated grill until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot; cook and stir until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in lemon juice and cook until evaporated, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits, about 3 minutes.
• Place scallops 1/2 inch apart in the skillet. Cook until browned on the bottom, about 1 minute. Flip and continue cooking until the second side is deeply browned, about 1 minute more.
• Transfer scallops to a serving plate; season with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley.

Steps:

• Pat scallops dry with paper towels. Place cheese ¡n shallow dish or resealable food-storage plastic bag. Coat scallops with cheese. Discard any remaining cheese.
• Heat oil and butter in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook half of scallops at a time in oil 3 to 6 minutes, turning once, until golden brown on outside and white and opaque inside. Sprinkle with pepper and chives.

Steps:

• Roll scallops in bread crumbs.
• Put olive oil and butter in a large skillet; stir and heat until hot.
• Add scallops, turning once, until browned on both sides (3-4 minutes); remove from heat.
• Halve lemon and gently squeeze juice over scallops, then sprinkle with cheese.
• Cover with a lid and let steep for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to mingle.

Steps:

• Pat scallops dry with paper towels, and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the scallops to skillet and cook, flipping once, until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining scallops, adding more oil to the skillet as needed. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges on the side.
