How do you a cook scallops?

Answer 1

I've had poached scallops but I wouldn't boil them. If you over cook them they get very tough. Poaching means the water is hot but not quick simmering. Bring the water to a simmer and then turn the heat back until the bubbles just stop (or almost stop). You can season the water with herbs, salt and pepper, some sliced onion, garlic, slices lemons, or whatever you want. You can even put some wine or stock in the water. Put the scallops in the hot water (the water should just cover them) and let them poach for about 5 minutes. They should be done but you can check them and let them cook longer if you want. A little under done is better than over done.

Scallops are used in different types of cooking. here's an example of how to bake sea scallops.

Ingredients :

• 16 pieces sea scallops
• 2 shallots (chopped)
• 5 cloves garlic (minced)
• 5 tbsp butter
• 4-8 pieces lemon wedges
• ¼ cup chopped parsley
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 3 pinches nutmeg
• salt to taste
• pepper to taste

Steps:

Before you begin, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Get a nice clean bowl and place 2 chopped shallots, 5 cloves of minced garlic, 5 tablespoons of melted butter and 16 pieces of sea scallops. Add Salt to it and also add freshly ground pepper. Next, add 3 pinches of nutmeg to these ingredients. Stir all the ingredients together and then transfer the contents in a clean casserole dish.

Get another bowl and mix 4 tablespoons of olive oil with 1 cup of breadcrumbs.

After mixing them thoroughly, sprinkle them on the scallops.

Cook the dish inside the preheated oven for about 14 minutes.

Before serving, top it with 1/4 cup of chopped, fresh parsley and then serve with 4-8 pieces of lemon wedges.

Hope this helps.
