• Bring 1 cup of water to a boil and add the 1 tablespoon of salt.
• Quickly blanch either the shrimp or the scallops in the salted water, then drain and toss in the melted butter.
• Season with the salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
• In a large bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
• Heat the olive oil in a large, 9 inch, cast iron or oven proof skillet over high heat and pour in the eggs.
• Cook, stirring constantly, until the eggs are almost coagulated.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the celery, onion and green peppers and cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer the vegetables to a plate and set aside. Wipe out the skillet.
• Whisk the milk, eggs, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Add the cooked vegetables, shrimp, parsley and seafood seasoning and stir to combine.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the egg mixture and cook until the edges start to set, about 2 minutes. Transfer to the oven and bake until the center is set, 15 to 20 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before sliding carefully onto a serving plate and cutting into wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• In large skillet, heat butter and olive oil. Wash and drain scallops; pat dry, and sauté until lightly browned. Remove from pan and put aside.
• In same skillet with scallop juices and remaining butter and oil, sauté onions until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add garlic, basil, tomato, and capers. Cook about 2 minutes longer until heated through. Remove from pan with slotted spoon.
• In large bowl, beat eggs, cream, salt and pepper. Add vegetables and swiss cheese. Stir well to combine.
• Generously grease a 10-inch pie pan (or a 2 quart casserole dish); sprinkle with bread crumbs.
• Arrange scallops on bottom.
• Pour egg mixture over top.
• Bake in preheated oven until lightly browned and firm, about 35 to 40 minutes.
• Slice in wedges and serve hot.

Steps:

• Set a saucepan over medium heat, and melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in it. When it foams, add the flour, and cook for approximately 4 minutes, whisking constantly. Add the stock, and whisk again, until it is smooth and thick. Add the cream, curry powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Bring the sauce just to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
• Put 3 tablespoons butter in a large sauté pan set over medium heat. When it melts and foams, add the shallots, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are clear and tender, approximately 5 minutes. Add the sliced mushroom caps, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until they have released their liquid and are just starting to brown. Add the brandy or Cognac, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the alcohol has mostly evaporated. Add a teaspoon of salt to the mixture and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and stir again to combine. Add mushroom mixture to the cream sauce, and set aside.
• Combine the bread crumbs, parsley and Gruyère in a large bowl, stir to combine, then moisten the mixture with the olive oil, stirring again to combine.
• Use last tablespoon of butter to grease 6 1 1/2-cup gratin dishes. Divide the scallops evenly among them and top with equal amounts of the cream and mushroom sauce. Top each gratin dish with a handful or two of the bread-crumb mixture. Place dishes on a sheet tray, cover gently with foil or plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to a day.
• When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 400. Remove cover from sheet tray, and place in the oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned and bubbling and the scallops are cooked through.

Steps:

• Heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil in a small skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add the scallions. Cook, stirring, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes, and remove from the heat.
• Beat the eggs in a medium bowl. Add the herbs, salt, pepper, mint, scallions and milk and beat together.
• Heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat in a 10-inch heavy nonstick skillet. Hold your hand above it; it should feel hot. Drop a bit of egg into the pan and if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the omelet with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. Turn the heat down to low and cover the pan. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the pan every once in a while, until the frittata is just about set. Meanwhile, light the broiler.
• If the frittata is not quite set on the top, place under the broiler, about 3 inches from the heat, for 1 minute, watching closely, until just beginning to color on the top. Do not allow the eggs to brown too much or they'll taste bitter. Remove from the heat, allow to sit in the pan for 5 minutes or longer, then carefully slide out onto a platter, or cut in wedges in the pan. Serve warm, room temperature, or cold.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Pour buttermilk into a bowl. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.
• Immerse 4 or 5 scallops in the bowl of buttermilk. Transfer to the flour mixture; roll around until thickly coated.
• Lower scallops gently into the hot oil. Cook until golden and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining scallops.
