Linguine With Scallops And Pepper Recipe

Linguine with Scallops and Pepper

From upstatevoyager 14 years ago

A nice way to serve scallops. And a nice way to stretch a pound of scallops to feed 4 in this economy.

Gremolata: shopping list
3 cloves garlic, crushed shopping list
1/2 bunch flat leaf parsley, finely chopped shopping list
1 tablespoons lemon rind, finely grated shopping list
The Main Event: shopping list
1 pound linguine, cooked, drained and kept warm shopping list
1 tablespoon olive oil shopping list
1 pound scallops (I've use both bay and sea scallops although I cut sea scallops in half) shopping list
4 ounces lean cooked ham, cut into thin strips (I've left this out and it's still good) shopping list
2 tablespoons lemon juice shopping list
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped or 1 teaspoon dried basil shopping list
fresh ground black pepper shopping list
1 cup chicken stock or broth shopping list
1 red bell pepper, julienned shopping list
2 leeks, well cleaned and cut into strips shopping list

For the gremolata: In bowl, combine garlic, parsley and lemon rind. Mix well and set aside.
In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add scallops and ham and saute 3 minutes or until scallops are opaque and ham begins to brown.
Remove skillet from heat. Stir in lemon juice, basil and black pepper. Set aside.
In saucepan, bring chicken broth or stock to a boil and simmer until reduced by half. Add red pepper and leek. Simmer 3 minutes.
Add pasta and scallop mixture to broth. Toss to combine.
Spoon onto serving platter and sprinkle with gremolata.
