How to Sear Scallops

My goodness! It’s the end of July already ! This summer is flying by with record breaking heat waves. Today’s Dish in my “Daily Cooking Series” are large Digby Scallops from Nova Scotia; these tasty sweet morsels are so so yummy 😋.

Let me introduce how to sear them in a cast iron skillet ( pan) in a matter of minutes. It goes nicely on pasta or rice ; they can also be a tasty appetizer where you soak up the garlic butter with a crusty French Bread or baguette 🥖.

The first and foremost is to make sure you use a cast iron skillet and not a stick-free frying pan because it’s harder to caramelize . Second, get the pan hot with a drizzle of high temperature oil, such as Grapeseed or canola oil; do not use Olive Oil or butter to sear the scallops.

Third, be sure to place the scallops on a paper towel to absorb the moisture ; this procedure is extremely important in the cooking method. Please see my full video on “How to Sear Scallops “.

Fourth and final step is to add garlic butter and quickly drizzle the scallops while still in the pan.

That’s it ! You’re ready to serve ! It’s a matter of minutes and, like said goes excellent with pasta or rice — your choice!

Bon appetite!

Cheers
