Grilled Scallops With Ginger Broth Food

GRILLED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil grate.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in lemon juice and salt. Place scallops in a large bowl, and toss with butter mixture. Let stand for about 2 minutes.
• Thread scallops onto skewers, or use a wire grill basket. Cook on preheated grill for about 4 minutes per side.
• Return butter mixture to saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and keep warm while scallops cook. Toss with grilled scallops and serve.

MISO-GLAZED GRILLED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Heat a charcoal or gas grill until very hot. Brush the grill with a little oil and position the grill grate 3 to 4 inches from the heat.
• Whisk together the miso and mirin or sake; season to taste with pepper.
• Thread the scallops through their equators onto metal or soaked wooden skewers and brush them all over with vegetable oil. Grill scallops until they're browned and release easily from the grill, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• When they're almost done, brush on both sides with the miso mixture, and continue to cook, turning once or twice, until the glaze caramelizes a bit and the scallops are done. Take the scallops off the grill before the interior becomes totally opaque.
• Sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions and serve immediately.

SEARED SEA SCALLOPS WITH GINGER-LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Wash sweet potatoes and wrap them tightly in foil. Roast until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. (If you are using larger sweet potatoes, they may require 15 minutes more in the oven.)
• Using a paring knife, remove the small hard "foot" from the edge of each scallop. Pat scallops dry and season on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Put on a medium pot of salted water to boil for the greens.
• Meanwhile, make the ginger butter: Combine butter, ginger, chile and lime zest and juice and stir together until well incorporated. Season with salt to taste. Set aside.
• Take a cast-iron skillet large enough to hold the scallops without crowding and place over medium-high heat. Add a film of olive oil. When the oil is nearly smoking, add the scallops in one layer and let them sizzle. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook for at least 5 minutes. Use a small spatula to check the scallops as they brown, allowing them to color gradually. They should be quite crisp and well caramelized. Turn off heat and flip scallops. Leave in pan until firm to the touch.
• While the scallops are cooking, blanch the bok choy: Cook it for 1 minute in the salted boiling water, then drain and blot on a kitchen towel. Keep warm.
• Remove and place scallops, browned side up, onto warmed serving plates. Surround with the bok choy leaves and halved or sliced sweet potatoes.
• Quickly warm the butter in the cast-iron pan and spoon over everything. Sprinkle with cilantro if desired.

SCALLOPS WITH CITRUS GINGER SAUCE

• Reduce the heat to medium and add the orange and lemon juice, orange zest, grated ginger and butter to the pan. Whisk the sauce together in the pan until it's simmering, then add the scallops back to the pan and spoon the sauce on top.
• Plate your scallops, drizzle more sauce on top and garnish with thyme.

GRILLED SEA SCALLOPS WITH SAFFRON RICE RECIPE

Steps:

• Thoroughly rinse the rice in a large sieve or small holed colander under cold running water until it runs clear. Shake the sieve to get rid of the excess water.
• In a small pot with a lid, heat the oil and garlic over medium. Add the rice and stir to toast, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the chicken broth to cover the rice approximately 1/2 inch. Add the saffron threads. Bring the broth to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Simmer for 13 minutes. Add the peas and simmer for 2 or 3 more minutes until all the broth is absorbed and the rice is soft and golden.
• Remove from the heat and let the rice rest another 5 minutes with the lid on.
• Add the lemon zest and fluff the rice lightly with a fork. Season with salt and pepper. (While the rice is resting, preheat your Foreman Grill).
• Preheat the grill to high while your rice is resting. Pat the scallops dry while the grill is heating up.
• Mix the butter and EVOO together well. Brush or coat the hot grill with the fat, top and bottom. Add the scallops immediately and close the lid on the grill. Grill the scallops until just opaque and milky white with a nice sear on the outside. This will take approximately 1-1/2 to 3 minutes. Check at 1-1/2 minutes. If not done rotate them 45 degrees just to add some cross grill marks.
• Serve the scallops on the saffron rice with a little salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice.

• Drain the scallops, rinse under cold water, and then arrange in a single layer on the paper towel-lined sheet pan. Place another paper towel on top of the scallops and gently pat scallops. Remove as much surface moisture as possible for the best browning results when cooked.

• In a 12-inch saute pan or cast iron skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until oil ripples and just begins to smoke.

• When the scallops are opaque in color and firm to the touch, about 1 to 2 minutes, turn off heat and transfer to a plate, do not discard pan.
• In the same pan used for cooking the scallops turn heat to medium. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.
• Increase heat to medium-high and add wine. Simmer wine, stirring as needed until the wine is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
