I don't know about you, but a meal centered around scallops, as with other seafood classics such as clams or lobsters, always feels extra special. The good thing about scallops is that you can easily find them in the frozen section of your supermarket or if you have the chance to get them fresh, that's even better! Plus, the star seafood are delicious in a variety of preparations, even (especially!) when they're cooked simply for a weeknight dinner or an impromptu dinner party at home. That's why you're seriously missing out if you don't cook any of these 33 unique scallop dishes.
Scallops are shellfish that have a very tender and delicate texture and taste, and they are edible bivalve mollusks from the Pectinidae family. You will probably recognize them by their ribbed fan-shaped shell and they come in varying sizes, from the small bay scallops to the larger sea scallops. No matter the size of the scallop, using scallops as an ingredient can make any meal feel a bit fancier.
Whether you use frozen scallops or fresh scallops, the important thing is to bring them to room temperature before cooking. For frozen scallops, it is best to thaw them overnight in the refrigerator and then bring them to room temperature by letting them sit for 30 minutes on the countertop before cooking.
Once the scallops are at room temperature, it's very important to remove any excess moisture (you can use a paper towel to pat the scallops dry) so that they brown nicely when cooking. The easiest way to cook scallops would be a quick sear in a greased hot pan or skillet which results in a delicacy that is tender and sweet. Approximately two minutes per side is enough, and do not overcook the scallops as they will turn rubbery. If using other ingredients in your dish, you can prepare the ingredients beforehand and then incorporate them when the scallops are cooked.
