This is a simple, straight-forward way to prepare fresh bay scallops without distracting from their natural sweetness. The larger sea scallops would work just as well here. Ingredients:
1 lb fresh bay scallop |
8 tablespoons butter |
1 cup flour |
1 teaspoon garlic clove, minced |
3 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
fresh ground black pepper |
1/2 fresh lemon, juice of |
Directions:
1. Wash the scallops in cold water. Spread on paper towels to dry. Put flour in a small bowl. Toss scallops in flour to coat completely.
2. Melt butter in a skillet over low heat. Add the scallops and pan fry 3 to 4 minutes, moving and turning, until they are firm but not browned. Add garlic and parsley and cook 30 seconds longer.
3. Remove to a serving plate and squeeze lemon juice over scallops and season with salt and pepper.
