Polynesian Scallops Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together 1/4 cup olive oil, the lime juice, soy sauce, cilantro, chile flakes and garlic. Sprinkle the scallops with salt and pepper. Add the scallops to the marinade, cover with plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in medium, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the scallops from the marinade, discard the marinade, and place the scallops in the skillet. Sear until lightly browned and cooked to desired doneness, 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Arrange the scallops decoratively on a platter and serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Broil the scallops for 4 minutes, then turn and broil 2 more minutes.
• In a large saucepan, sauté the chopped onion in the olive oil until tender. Add the sliced mushrooms, bell pepper strips, and chopped tomato; cook until all the vegetables are heated through.
• Arranged the sautéed vegetables on a platter. Top with the broiled scallops. Layer the avacado slices on top of the scallops, then spread mango salsa over the the avacado slices. Top with sour cream, and garnish with green onion slices.

Steps:

• In a medium pot, bring 2 cups canola oil to 350 degrees F.
• Using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out the center of each wonton wrapper. Fry the wontons in small batches until they are brown and crispy, about 2 minutes. Drain on a plate lined with a paper towel and season each with a bit of salt.
• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons canola oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper, to taste. Sear the scallops in the skillet for 3 minutes per side.
• In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango and avocado. In another smaller bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, hot sauce, and lime juice, and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper, to taste. Pour half of the coconut milk mixture over the mango and avocado and gently toss to coat.
• To assemble, put 1 tablespoon of the mango and avocado mixture onto a fried wonton. Top with a seared scallop and finish with a drizzle of the coconut sauce. Repeat with the remaining ingredients and transfer to a serving platter.

Steps:

• Cut scallops in half or quarters depending upon size.
• Dry with paper towels.
• Dredge in flour, dip in beaten egg, then roll in coconut.
• Let dry on waxed paper in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
• While scallops are drying, heat chutney and butter in a small saucepan over low heat until butter is melted and mixture is heated through. Keep warm.
• In a deep skillet, heat 2 inches of oil to 375 degrees F. and fry the scallops a few at a time, until coconut is browned lightly, about 1 1/2 minutes.
• Drain on paper towels and keep warm until all are done.
• Serve on wooden toothpicks with warmed chutney sauce.
