Scallops Creme De La Creme Recipes

Steps:

• Toss 1 pound bay scallops, 2 diced green tomatoes, 2 minced shallots, 1/2 minced jalapeno, 1/3 cup lime juice, 3/4 cup orange juice and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a glass bowl. Cover and chill, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 hours. Add salt, pepper and chopped cilantro. Top with sliced avocado.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Brush 2 small gratin dishes with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
• Whisk creme fraiche, white wine, lemon zest, cayenne pepper, and kosher salt together in a bowl until sauce is smooth. Place scallops in sauce and toss to coat; let sit until flavors begin to blend, about 5 minutes. Divide scallops between prepared gratin dishes and pour remaining creme fraiche sauce over the top. Top with tarragon and Parmesan cheese. Drizzle remaining butter over the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 4 minutes. Increase oven setting to broil and continue cooking until scallops are golden brown, slightly springy, and opaque, 2 to 4 minutes more.

Steps:

• Heat a small amount of oil in pan, add scallops and cook both sides until opaque. Set to one side.
• Heat cream in pan, add sherry, lemon juice, stock, garlic and Gruyere stir until cheese has melted. Mix a small amount of water to cornflour add to cream and stir until sauce has thickened.
• In a bowl beat egg yolks and add a few tablespoons of cream mixture to yolks and stir (this prevents eggs from scrambling when added to cream.) Slowly add egg to pan stirring continuously while adding. Add pepper and parsley stir to combine and heat through.
• Place 4 scallops per shell, pour sauce over each to cover completely. Top each shell with extra Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs,place under grill and grill until bubbly and browned.

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan and add the shallots. Cook briefly, stirring, and add the mushrooms. Cook until wilted and add the salt, pepper, and wine. Add the scallops and bring to the boil. Cook until all the scallops are heated through, stirring gently as necessary. Take care not to let the scallops overcook or they will toughen. Using a slotted spoon, remove and set aside the scallops and mushrooms. Reserve the liquid. There should be about 3/4 cup of liquid. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring rapidly with a wire whisk. When blended add the reserved liquid, stirring until thickened and smooth. Add the milk and 1 cup of the cream. Cook for about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste and a pinch of cayenne. Whip the remaining 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Fold it into the sauce. Use 6 individual scallop shells or ramekins. Spoon equal portions of the scallops and mushrooms into each shell. Spoon the sauce over the scallop mixture. Preheat the broiler to high. Place the filled shells under the broiler about 6 inches from the source of heat and bake until a nice brown glaze forms on top. As the scallops broil, turn shells occasionally for even browning, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season scallops with salt and pepper. Cook scallops until golden on bottom, about 2 minutes. Turn over; sauté until just cooked through, about 1 minute. Drain on paper towels. Cool to room temperature.
• Top each scallop with 1/2 teaspoon crème fraîche. Top with caviar. Garnish with chives and serve.

Steps:

• Julienne veal and prosciutto.
• Heat the butter and when hot (but not browning) add the veal and stir rapidly.
• Salt and pepper. Add the prosciutto and stir fry briefly. Use a slotted spoon to remove the meat.
• Add mushrooms to skillet and cook until wilted. Add the shallots and cook about a minute, then add the wine.
• Cook, stirring, until liquid is almost completely reduced, then add the cream.
• Cook about 5 minutes over high heat, stirring. Add the meats and juices.
• Combine and cook quickly until piping hot.
• Check seasoning; salt and pepper as desired.
• Serve immediately with rosti potatoes (traditional) or egg noodles.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the panko, butter, a pinch of salt and the Parmesan. In another small bowl, combine the thyme, garlic, lemon zest, a large pinch of pepper and the cream.
• Divide the bay scallops between two individual gratin dishes. Pour half the cream mixture over each dish, then sprinkle each evenly with the panko mix. At this point, the scallops can be wrapped and refrigerated for up to 24 hours or baked immediately. (Note: I think I'd wait to sprinkle on the panko mix until just before baking - I think it will get soggy otherwise),.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the gratin dishes on a baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until cream is bubbling all over and the crumbs are browned.
