Ingredient Notes

An overhead view of the ingredients needed to make lemon garlic scallops.
  • Scallop preparation demands that you ensure they are completely dry to prevent any adverse effects during cooking. Pat the wings dry thoroughly with a paper towel or clean cloth to eliminate excess moisture, ensuring optimal browning during cooking.
  • While we delight in the subtle nuances white wine brings to this dish, a suitable alternative is indeed chicken broth, should your taste buds lean towards that direction.
  • When it comes to adding a burst of citrus flavour, we’re big fans of freshly squeezed lemon juice; however, bottled lemon juice is a suitable alternative when the situation calls for it.

Buying Fresh Scallops

While shopping at your neighbourhood market may yield satisfactory results, you’ll often find that the seafood counter offers an unparalleled selection of freshly caught scallops, ensuring a superior gastronomic experience. When selecting scallops, you may choose between dry and wet varieties; we recommend opting for dry scallops whenever possible, as this allows them to sear more effectively when cooked. While purchasing pre-packaged scallops is an option, note that they may exhibit a more pronounced oceanic aroma and flavor profile compared to fresh alternatives.

Cooking the Scallops

With a perfectly cooked sear, the scallops develop a rich, golden-brown crust that beautifully balances flavor and texture. To achieve the ideal crust on your scallops without overcooking them, ensure they’re thoroughly dried beforehand using a clean towel or paper towel, thereby allowing for even browning and crisp texture. To avoid overcooking the scallops, it’s essential to maintain a reasonable pan density, and if necessary, cook them in smaller batches to ensure optimal results.

Serving Suggestions

These succulent lemon garlic scallops showcase their versatility by seamlessly integrating into a wide variety of culinary creations. The vibrant sauce is incredibly flavorful, rendering additional accompaniments almost unnecessary; as such, it pairs delightfully with both pasta and rice, making the succulent scallops a versatile and satisfying meal option. Why not elevate your meal by pairing these succulent scallops with a medley of flavors?

Storage and Reheating Instructions

Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container and kept refrigerated for up to 48 hours.

Cook sliced vegetables and meat portions in a hot skillet over medium-high heat, using a moderate amount of oil to prevent sticking and ensure they’re thoroughly heated through. Do not microwave.
