Marinated Seared Scallops Recipe


Marinated Seared Scallops Recipe
We made these for an appetizer for New Year's Eve. They would make a lovely entree with some rice and a salad. I'm sure they would be wonderful cooked on the grill, too.

Ingredients
  • 10 large sea scallops
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1 teaspoon fresh black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 3 finely minced garlic cloves
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil

Directions
  1. Combine all ingredients except scallops in a shallow bowl. Add scallops, turning gently to coat with marinade. Set aside for 1/2 hour to 2 hours. When ready to cook, heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Take scallops out of marinade and place in pan. Don't move the scallop at all for a few minutes to let them brown. When it is browned on 1 side, turn gently and brown on the other until desired doneness. Don't overcook, they will get tough. While scallops are cooking, boil marinade in small pan to make a sauce to pour over them.
