For the Polenta
- 2 1/4 cups chicken stock shopping list
- 1 cup ground corn meal shopping list
- 3 T butter shopping list
- 1 tsp pepper shopping list
- 1/3 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese shopping list
- 1/3 cup chopped parsley shopping list
- 1 shallot, minced shopping list
Seared Sea Scallop
- One large sea scallop per person shopping list
- 3 T olive oil shopping list
- 1 T large flake sea salt shopping list
- fresh black pepper shopping list
How to make it
- First, peel, clean and devein the shrimp and set them aside
- Take the scallops and slice them in half, from side to side...not down the middle. Basically making 2 thin scallops per sea scallop
The Polenta
- Melt the butter in a sauce pan and add the shallot
- When the shallot is translucent, add the liquid and bring to a boil
- Slowly whisk in the corn meal, breaking up the lumps with a spoon
- Lower the heat to low and add the remaining ingredients
- Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring often
For the Shrimp
- In a large, hot skillet, melt the butter and saute the garlic until its slightly brown
- Add the shrimp and white wine, parsley and cook until the shrimp are pink...about 4 minutes or so.
- Season with black pepper and then empty the contents of the pan into a bowl, or on a plate and bring the pan back to high
Cooking the Scallops
- Season the scallops with sea salt and black pepper
- Add the olive oil and once it's hot, place the scallops down around the outside edges of the pan making sure each one is in some of the oil. They should sizzle when you do this, or the oil wasn't hot enough
- Allow them to cook for about a minute and then gently flip them with a spoon. The cooked side should be a nice, golden brown
- Allow the other side to sear for a minute or two, and serve next to the polenta topped with sauted shrimp
