Scallops With Maui Onion Rings Recipes

Steps:

• Add salt and pepper to flour and baking powder.
• Mix egg and milk together.
• Combine all, and mix well.
• Dip seafood in batter, and then deep fry in hot oil, at 350, until seafood is no longer opague color in the middle, and/or batter is a golden brown, approximately 3-5 minutes.
• Drain on paper towels, and serve hot.

Steps:

• In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Add the onions, leeks, and salt and pepper, to taste. Cook stirring frequently until caramelized, about 15 minutes. Add the garlic and shiitake mushrooms. Continue cooking for an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Add the peas, red pepper flakes and scallions.
• Season the broth with salt and pepper, to taste, and add a dash of sherry vinegar. Cook for 1 minute. Keep warm. Season the scallops with salt and pepper, to taste. In another large saute pan over medium-high heat, add the butter. Add the scallops and sear for 4 minutes. Flip the scallops, then squeeze in some lemon juice. Baste the scallops for 1 minute to finish cooking. Remove from heat. Spoon the caramelized onion mixture on serving plates and top each plate with 4 scallops. Serve.

Steps:

• Soak capers in water to cover for 10 minutes. Rinse under cold running water and pat dry. Slice onion in rings one-fourth-inch thick. Separate rings.
• Heat enough peanut or vegetable oil to come one-fourth of the way up the side of a deep fryer. Lightly dredge the onions in the flour and place in a frying basket. Deep-fry until golden. Drain on paper towels. Dredge the capers with the flour, deep fry and remove with a slotted spoon when golden. Drain on paper towels.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet until hot. Season scallops with salt and pepper and saute them in two teaspoons olive oil in one layer over high heat, turning once, until seared and opaque, about two minutes each side.
• To assemble the salad, arrange the tomatoes on four plates. Place the scallops on top. Combine the quarter-cup olive oil, garlic and vinegar and sprinkle lightly over the scallops. Season with pepper and garnish with the onion rings, capers and basil leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 150 degrees.
• Peel and slice the onions, paper thin, then separate them into rings. Toss with the flour to coat them.
• Heat the vegetable oil to 375 degrees in a deep saucepan or wok, and deep-fry the onion rings in several batches until they are golden. Drain them well, transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the oven to keep warm.
• Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Heat half the olive oil until very hot in a 10-inch nonstick skillet. Add half the scallops and saute, turning them, for about 30 seconds until they are lightly seared. During the last few seconds of cooking, toss with half the basil and half the garlic. Remove the scallops to a warm dish and repeat with the remaining oil, scallops, basil and garlic.
• Divide the scallops among four warm plates, top each with a generous portion of the onion rings and serve at once.

Steps:

• Peel and slice onions very thin.
• Saute onions in nonstick pan in hot oil over medium-high heat until they soften, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Add water and sugar. Cover and cook over low heat until water evaporates, about 12 to 15 minutes longer. Sprinkle with lemon juice and pepper.
• Wash and drain scallops. Add scallops and garlic to onions and cook for 2 or 3 minutes, depending on size of scallops.
• Stir in vermouth; raise heat and cook quickly for 30 seconds.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees and preheat grill to hot. Wipe the scallops dry with paper towels and brush them with a tablespoon of olive oil. Grill over very high heat just enough to make crosshatch marks on both sides. Do not cook any longer.
• Heat a tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan. Add the tomato and onion and saute for five minutes. Add the garlic and wine and cook two minutes more. Stir in the capers, olives, thyme, half a teaspoon of rosemary, the remaining three tablespoons of olive oil and salt and pepper.
• Pour mixture into a baking dish and arrange scallops on top. Bake for five minutes. Remove from oven and cool. Sprinkle with the extra-virgin olive oil and remaining rosemary and serve at room temperature.
