SCALLOPS PROVENçAL

Steps:

• If you're using bay scallops, keep them whole and pat them dry.. If you're using sea scallops, cut each one in half horizontally, then pat them dry. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, toss with flour, and shake off the excess.
• In a very large sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over high heat until sizzling and add the scallops in one layer. Lower the heat to medium and allow the scallops to brown lightly on one side without moving them, then turn and brown lightly on the other side. This should take 3 to 4 minutes, total.
• Melt the rest of the butter in the pan with the scallops, then add the shallots, garlic, and parsley and sauté for 2 more minutes, tossing the seasonings with the scallops. Add the wine, cook for 1 minute, and taste for seasoning. Serve hot with a squeeze of lemon juice.

SAUTEED BAY SCALLOPS WITH LEMON BUTTER

Steps:

• Choose a saute pan large enough to hold all of the scallops in one layer without overcrowding the pan or without them touching each other. Cook in batches if necessary. Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter until nearly smoking. Add the scallops and do not move or shake pan, but allow the scallops to brown well on one side before tossing the pan to flip them or gently turning them with a spatula to cook the second side.
• Remove the scallops from the pan and place on a warm serving platter. Return the pan in which the scallops had been cooked to the fire, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sweet butter, and cook until the butter begins to turn a light brown color. When the butter has browned to a hazelnut color add the lemon juice and chopped parsley.
• Pour the classic lemon butter over the scallops, garnish with heart-shaped croutons and serve promptly.

JULIA CHILD'S SCALLOPS GRATINEED

Steps:

• In a skillet, saute shallots in olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter until they begin to be translucent but not browned. Add garlic and cook for another minute. Set aside.
• Dry scallops with a paper towel and slice them in half,horizontally. Season scallops with salt and pepper and lightly dust in flour,removing any excess.
• In another skillet (or you can use the same one after removing sauteed shallots), drizzle a bit more oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Sear scallops for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
• Pour wine into the same skillet with the scallops and add thyme, bay leaf and shallot mixture and continue cooking until wine is reduced,for another 2-3 minutes.
• Divide scallops into shallow ovenproof dishes and spoon sauce over. I like using a shallow ramekins that would normally be used for creme brulee, but work perfectly for this. Top with Gruyere cheese and doteach ramekin with butter.
• Right before serving, place ramekins under the broiler for about 2 minutes or until cheese is just melted and serve.
