Angel Hair-covered Fried Scallops With Tangerine-saffron Aioli Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • For the aioli:
  • Put the tangerine juice and saffron in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for about 1 minute, until juice is infused with the saffron; stir in the zest and remove from the heat to cool slightly. Whisk the tangerine mixture and the mayonnaise in a small bowl until combined. Season with salt and set aside while you cook the scallops.
  • For the Scallops: In a deep fryer or a deep, heavy saucepan, heat vegetable oil to 360 degrees F.
  • Lightly coat the scallops with the eggwash and season the scallops with lemon pepper and salt. Wrap each scallop with strands of cooked pasta until completely covered like a rubber band ball. Place the covered scallops in batches in the hot oil and cook just until golden brown, turning, about 2 minutes. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot, 3 scallops per person, with the saffron-tangerine aioli.

    I wanted to double check, you do not cook the scallop separate, you wrap in pasta and cook then? I always have issues w/ scallops, they just intimidate me a bit!
