Scallops With Grand Marnier Recipes

SCALLOPS WITH GRAND MARNIER

Steps:

• 1. In a large skillet, cook the scallops seasoned with salt and pepper in 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter over moderately high heat for 1 minute, stirring.
• 2. Cover the skillet and cook the scallops, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes more, or until they are opague and just firm. With a slotted spoon transfer the scallops to a large plate and cover to keep them warm.
• 3. Add the shallots to the skillet and cook them, stirring for 1 minute. Add the broth, wine, juice and Grand Marnier, and boil the mixture until it is reduced to about 2/3 cup.
• 4. Add the heavy cream and simmer the mixture until it is lightly thickened.
• 5. Over moderatley high heat, whisk the remaining butterand orange rind and season the sauce with lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Pour any accumulated juices from the scallops into the sauce.
• 6. Divide the scallops among "coquille" shells, (ramekins) and spoon the sauce over them.

GRAND MARNIER SAUCE

Steps:

• Slice butter into 1/4-inch slices.
• In a small saucepan, heat orange juice, sugar and orange rind, on low temperature stirring often for 5 minutes.
• Increase heat and bring to boil.
• The mixture will thicken and become syrupy.
• Whisk the mixture and add the butter, piece by piece.
• When thoroughly blended, remove from heat and stir in Grand Marnier. Serve immediately.

GRAND MARNIER FLAN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 320
• Create your "bain marie." Lay your dish towel into the bottom of your pan, and place your ramekins on top. Fill the pan with water about half-way up the ramekins. The towel will prevent them from sloshing around in the water. Set aside.
• Combine 3½ tbsp. of water and 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan to make your caramel. This process will take about 10 minutes. Heat over a medium flame and let it start to bubble. Resist every urge to stir it. (I have a hard time with this. I just want to stir it so much, but it doesn't help).
• After about 6-7 minutes, the color of your caramel will appear to have a golden blonde color. This is when you want to add your Grand Marnier. Pour quickly, pick up the sauce pan and swirl the pan fast. You want it to steam off a bit. Swirl for about 15 seconds, and return the pan to the flame.
• Watch the color of the caramel closely. When it appears to be darkening to a deep cherry brown, quickly lift the pan and swirl again. The sugar will continue to cook in the pan even when it's not over the flame and burns quickly if it's left too long.
• Once your caramel is the color of a warm mahogany, pour it into your ramekins.
• Pour your whole milk and vanilla extract into your pot and heat to almost boiling. Stirring occasionally.
• Whisk 3 eggs into a measuring cup or bowl with 6 tbsp. of sugar. Pour the sugar/egg mixture through a mesh strainer to strain out any extra eggy bits, and return to your cup or bowl.
• Slowly (very slowly) pour your sugar/egg mixture into your milk while constantly stirring with your other hand - otherwise the eggs will simply become a scrambled egg mixture in the milk.
• To ensure your flan is extra smooth, strain the entire custard mixture through your mesh strainer and then pour into your ramekins evenly. Place on the bottom rack, and bake for 45 minutes to an hour.
• You'll know your flan is done when the edges become golden.
• Very carefully remove the pan and ramekins once done. Refrigerate for 24 hours before serving.

SEARED PEPPERED SCALLOPS WITH ORANGE-SOY GLAZE

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons oil in large skillet over high heat. Sprinkle scallops with pepper blend and salt. Working in batches, add scallops to skillet in single layer; sauté until brown on outside and just opaque in center, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer scallops to plate, leaving drippings in pan.
• Add garlic and remaining oil to drippings in skillet; stir 30 seconds. Add orange juice, soy sauce, and orange peel. Boil until sauce thickens to syrup, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes.
• Pour sauce over scallops and serve.

PAN SEARED DIGBY SCALLOPS WITH GRAND MARNIER HASKAP SAUCE

Steps:

• Sauce Heat a small stainless steel sauce pan on medium heat. Add butter and let bubble, put in onion and a pinch of salt. Sweat onions until transparent, (approx 1-2 min) then add Grand Marnier to deglaze. Add frozen haskaps and let come to a simmer, pour in grapefruit juice and let simmer until desired thickness is reached (1-2 min). Remove from heat. Scallops Heat a cast iron or stainless steel pan on medium/high heat. Season scallops on one side with a pinch of salt and a few cranks of the pepper mill. Add butter to the pan, when it just starts to brown add scallops seasoned side down. Sear for 1 - 2 mins on each side. Scallops should be warm in center though not cooked through for best flavor. Salad While your sauce and scallops are cooking, place greens into a salad bowl. Drizzle oil and grapefruit juice over the greens, sprinkle a pinch of salt and a few cranks of the pepper mill and lightly toss with your hands. Gently place greens slightly off centered on your plate and garnish the top with dried haskaps and seeds. Using tongs place scallops beside the salad and spoon Haskap sauce onto the center scallop, letting the sauce run a bit on your plate leaving a couple of scallops exposed for a great presentation.

GRAND MARNIER® SCALLOPS APPETIZER WITH FOIS GRAS

Steps:

• Rinse scallops and pat dry with paper towel. Pour all but 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier® into a glass or ceramic bowl and add scallops; marinate for 1 hour. Reserve remaining 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier®.
• Drain scallops and pat with paper towels until very dry. Let rest at least 15 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Sprinkle fois gras slice with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Combine Seville orange marmalade and reserved Grand Marnier® in a small nonstick pot over very low heat until marmalade has thickened and has the consistency of chutney, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it sizzles. Add scallops and pan-fry until well caramelized, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip scallops and pan-fry for 1 more minute. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate.
• Meanwhile, quickly sear fois gras in a small nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat on both sides, about 30 to 40 seconds per side; do not overcook! Remove from heat and transfer to a small plate. Cut into 6 equal pieces with a sharp knife.
• To assemble, top each scallop with a slice of fois gras, 1/2 teaspoon marmalade, and a sprig of watercress.
