Don't disturb the scallops while they cook so they get a nice brown crust. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter |
1 pound sea scallops |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper |
1 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth |
1/2 cup half-and-half |
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream |
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon paprika |
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
2 tablespoons sherry |
1 (2-ounce) jar diced pimiento, drained |
4 english muffins, split and toasted |
1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs |
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler.
2. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops; cook 3 minutes on each side or until done. Remove from pan, and keep warm. Add onion and bell pepper to pan; sauté 5 minutes or until tender.
3. Combine chicken broth, half-and-half, sour cream, flour, salt, paprika, black pepper, and nutmeg in a medium bowl; stir well with a whisk. Add broth mixture to pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 5 minutes or until thick, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in scallops, sherry, and diced pimiento.
4. Place English muffins on a foil-lined jelly-roll pan. Spoon about 1/2 cup scallop mixture over each muffin half. Sprinkle each muffin half with 1 1/2 teaspoons breadcrumbs and about 3/4 teaspoon Parmesan cheese. Broil 5 minutes or until browned and bubbly. Serve immediately.
