SCALLOP GRATIN
As far as I'm concerned, a simple gratin is the most delicious way to cook fresh scallops. The only real way to screw this recipe up would be to use the wrong scallops. And by wrong, I mean any scallops that have been soaked in a preservative brine. These are easy to identify, as they're usually sitting in a pool of milky liquid. What you want are usually sold as wild 'day-boat,' 'diver,' or 'dry-pack' scallops. They are really expensive, and worth every penny. Serve with French bread for dipping.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Brush 2 small gratin dishes with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
- Whisk creme fraiche, white wine, lemon zest, cayenne pepper, and kosher salt together in a bowl until sauce is smooth. Place scallops in sauce and toss to coat; let sit until flavors begin to blend, about 5 minutes. Divide scallops between prepared gratin dishes and pour remaining creme fraiche sauce over the top. Top with tarragon and Parmesan cheese. Drizzle remaining butter over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 4 minutes. Increase oven setting to broil and continue cooking until scallops are golden brown, slightly springy, and opaque, 2 to 4 minutes more.

SENSATIONAL SCALLOPS
I saw that scallops were on the list of ingredients to incorporate and was so happy, because I love them! This recipe is perfect for a romantic dinner or a special occasion, but it comes together very quickly and easily. Use large scallops - the larger the better. Mine were about the size of a good sized plum. Serve over rice and with a side of any veggie you like.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200°F.
- Grate the lime rind using a microplane or the fine side of a grater. Mix with the brown sugar, cayenne and paprika. Spread out on a plate and make sure to get out any lumps in the sugar.
- Juice the lime and reserve.
- Slice the roasted red pepper very thinly.
- De-seed and finely chop the jalapeño.
- Slice the green onion diagonally, thinly.
- Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel.
- Press each flat side of the scallops into the brown sugar mixture enough to have a thin layer of the mixture on each. Reserve the remaining sugar mixture!
- Spray a large non-stick frying pan with cooking oil. Make sure the pan is large enough, so as not to crowd the large scallops. Add the butter and heat on high heat until the butter is foaming.
- Add the coated scallops and reduce the heat to medium. (Adjust the heat if it gets to hot in the pan, you want the scallops to brown nicely, but not burn).
- Watch the underside of the scallops and when they start to go white 1/2 way up the scallop, (about 3 minutes), carefully turn them over to brown the other side. Brown for about 3 minutes more (depending on how large your scallops are). Scallops should be slightly cool inside, and NOT overcooked.
- When both sides are browned, remove to a plate and keep warm (I used a pre-heated 200f oven) while you quickly make the sauce.
- Rinse out the pan to remove the sugar which will make your sauce bitter.
- Put the rinsed pan on a high burner. Add the chicken broth, lime juice, and marsala wine, add the jalapeño and roasted red pepper. Add the remaining sugar mixture and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, and reduce by 1/2 for about 2 minutes.
- Once reduced, turn the heat down to medium, add the heavy cream and stir thoroughly. Turn up the heat and heat through until just before bubbling, and pour over the scallops.
- Serve with the green onion sprinkled over as a garnish.

- Grilled Scallops with Creamed Corn. The dry rub on these scallops can go on pretty much everything. (And you'll want it on pretty much everything). View Recipe.
- Grilled Scallops with Nori, Ginger, and Lime. We always seek out dry scallops, which will sear and caramelize better. Ask your fishmonger before you buy—it really makes a difference.
- Sea Scallops with Celery Root and Meyer Lemon Salad. Pick a small to medium celery root and peel off its hide with a sharp knife. Inside you'll find ivory-green flesh that's crisp, a bit nutty, and utterly delicious in salads.
- Pan-Seared Scallops with Chorizo and Corn. Treat scallops to the flavorful oil left behind when you cook chorizo—it’s basically liquid gold. View Recipe.
- Spicy Tomato Shellfish Stew. A punch fish stew with scallops and mussels and all the good things. View Recipe.
