How do you cook scallops?

Answer 1

wash the scallops thoroughly to get rid of their juices, pat dry, remove the coral (orange fin) and the very thin film and large connection around the side of the scallop, season well, maybe use some five spice to for a kick, heat a pan with a little butter in it, place the scallops in around 2 minutes each side until crisp and caramel colour, if you are really unsure, cut open the scallop as raw scallop has a more grey than white colour unlike cooked scallops which lighten in colour

Answer 2

I find Manx Scallops the best fished around the Isle of Man. They are sweet and juicy and also fished in a sustainable way. I like them with butter, chirizo sausage, chillie, galric and paprika. Check out this link to You Tube to see it being done! This is a great recipe for both Queen and King Scallops http://YouTube.com/watch?v=cp-qHB8Wvg8

Answer 3

To make shrimp scampi, you saute the desired amount of shrimp in butter with shallots, garlic and red pepper flakes. Once the shrimp are cooked through, remove them from the pan. Add more butter to the pan with dry white wine and lemon juice to make the sauce. Put the shrimp on top of some cooked pasta and drizzle with the sauce.

Answer 4

Yes, cooking shrimp scampi does not have to be difficult. Try to locate a recipe on Simply Recipes, as these recipes do not require an advanced cooking skill-set and often call for fewer ingredients than more complex recipes.

Answer 5

Broil or saute them in garlic butter and a splash of white wine. Salt to taste and garnish with chopped parsley.

Answer 6

Spicy Garlic Shrimp, Jumbo Shrimp Parmesan and Dirty Shrimp in Butter-Beer Sauce, are some good shrimp recipes.
