Creamy Scallops Mushrooms Parmesan Rice Recipes

CREAMY GARLIC SCALLOPS

Steps:

• If scallops are frozen, thaw in cold water. Remove the side muscle from the scallops if attached. Thoroughly pat dry with paper towels.
• Heat olive oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat until hot and sizzling. Add the scallops in a single layer without over crowding the pan (work in batches if needed).
• Season with salt and pepper to taste and fry for 2-3 minutes on one side (until a golden crust forms underneath), then flip and fry again for 2 minutes until crisp, lightly browned and cooked through (opaque). Remove from skillet and transfer to a plate.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same pan, scraping up any browned bits left over from the scallops. Add in the garlic and cook until fragrant (1 minute).
• Pour in wine (or broth) and bring to a simmer for 2 minutes or until wine reduces by about half. Add cream and allow to simmer until slightly thickened.
• Remove pan (skillet) from the heat; stir in lemon juice and add the scallops back into the pan to warm through slightly and garnish with parsley.
• Serve over rice, pasta, garlic bread or steamed vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini noodles).

PARMESAN SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Combine the cracker crumbs and Parmesan cheese in a zip-top bag. Shake bag to mix well.
• Place scallops in a small bowl and pour cream over. Stir to fully coat scallops.
• One at a time, drop the cream coated scallops into the cracker crumb mixture. Gently press scallop into the crumbs to coat and shake off any excess. Place the breaded scallops onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.
• Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When butter is hot and frothy, add the scallops, being careful not to crowd the pan. Cook scallops, covered, until crispy on the outside and just cooked through on the inside, about 2 minutes per side. Cook in 2 batches if necessary. Serve immediately.

PAN-SEARED SCALLOPS WITH MUSHROOM RISOTTO (VIDEO)

Steps:

• Begin the recipe with the mushroom risotto. The scallops cook very quickly, and the risotto can be kept warm on the side. Pour the vegetable broth in a small saucepan and bring it up to a simmer. Preheat a large sauté pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of the salted butter. To the melted butter, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté them for 7 to 8 minutes, until they're browned and softened. Season the mushrooms with salt when they're almost done. Set the mushrooms aside.
• Into the same pan, with the heat on medium, add 2 tablespoons of butter and the diced shallot. Cook the shallot for a couple minutes until it's softened but not browned. Add the minced garlic and Arborio rice next and cook for a couple minutes until the rice absorbs the butter.
• Next, add in the white wine and cook for a couple minutes until the wine is completely reduced. Now, begin adding the vegetable broth, ¼ to 1/3 cup at a time. Make sure to keep the broth simmering! Whisk the risotto until the broth is almost completely reduced after each addition, then add more broth. Continue adding the broth slowly and whisking until the rice is cooked, about 22 to 25 minutes. Return the mushrooms to the pan when the rice is almost done cooking and season the risotto with salt to taste. If desired, whisk in some grated parmesan cheese once the risotto is cooked.
• Keep the risotto covered and warm while preparing the scallops.
• For the scallops: place the fresh jumbo scallops on a tray lined with paper towels to absorb any liquids. Gently press a paper towel sheet on top of the scallops to help absorb any moisture. Season the scallops lightly with salt.
• Preheat a large frying pan over high heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil if using a stainless steel pan. The pan and oil need to be extra hot!! I recommend using avocado oil, which has a high smoking point. Once the pan is hot, add about 7 to 9 scallops in a ring along the edge of the pan; the scallops will cook more evenly this way. Do not overcrowd the pan!! Cook the scallops for 1 ½ to 2 minutes maximum per side, until the scallop is caramelized. Turn and cook on the other side.
• Once the scallops are cooked, remove them onto a tray lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining scallops.
• Important note: my timing is for jumbo/extra-large scallops. For medium scallops, cook for 1 to 1 ½ minutes maximum. For small scallops, cook about 1 minute per side.
• To prepare the sauce, clean the scallop pan or use a new pan. Heat it over medium-low heat and add the last 2 tablespoons of butter. To the melted butter, add the capers and cook for a minute. Next, add in the wine, lemon zest and lemon juice and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the fresh herbs last and remove the sauce from heat.
• Add the scallops into the prepared lemon sauce and toss to coat them. Make sure to remove the sauce from heat so the scallops don't continue to cook.
• To serve, spoon the risotto onto a dinner plate and top with 3 to 5 scallops per serving. Add a tablespoon of lemon sauce over each serving and enjoy immediately! This dish should not be left to stand and should not be reheated. Reheating will overcook the scallops, causing them to become rubbery.
• Want to make this recipe for a romantic dinner for two? Prepare half a recipe of mushroom risotto and reduce the number of jumbo scallops to 10; I recommend making the same amount of sauce.

SAUTEED MUSHROOMS AND SCALLOPS

CREAMY PARMESAN MUSHROOM ORZO WITH GARLIC BUTTER SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Rinse the mushrooms, pat dry, and slice thick. Mince the garlic. Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and saute 5-6 minutes, or until they have softened and released all of their moisture.Remove from pan to a plate and cover to keep warm. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to do this in two batches.
• Lower the heat to medium and add the butter. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the onion. Saute 3-4 minutes until caramelized. Then add in the garlic. Saute for 30 seconds.
• Add the flour, stir well and cook for 1 minute.
• Pour in the half and half and chicken stock. Whisking continuously until the butter flour mixture is no longer clumpy and the bottom of the pan has been deglazed from sautéing. Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
• Add in the orzo pasta and stir to combine. If it starts boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and allow it to maintain a simmer.
• Cook uncovered, stirring frequently to ensure the orzo does not stick to the bottom of the pan or together, until it is al dente and the liquid has thickened to form a creamy sauce. Apprximately 10-15 minutes, or according to the package instructions.
• While the orzo is cooking, line the scallops up on a paper towel and pat them dry. Removing some of the water will help to crisp the outsides.Season the scallops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• Place a large cast iron skillet over medium heat with the butter. Once the butter is bubbling and starting to brown, add the scallops one at a time seasoned side down. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove from pan to a dish and cover to keep warm.
• Once the orzo is cooked and the sauce has thickened, remove from heat. Taste test and add additional seasonings, if needed.Stir in the baby spinach and parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese has melted and the spinach has wilted. Stir in the mushrooms and top with scallops to re-warm both.
• Serve garnished with freshly grated parmesan cheese, black pepper, and freshly chopped parsley.

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.
