I love scallops, they are one of my favorite seafood and I try to make them as much as I can at home. One of the easiest way to cook scallops is to pan sear them. The natural briny flavor of scallops shine through in pan-searing, and all you need are a pinch of salt and black pepper.
One of my favorite sauce is a simple creamy garlic herb sauce, infused with the wonderful aroma of the garlic and the fresh herb, plus a little bit of white wine. The taste is simply intoxicating and restaurant quality, right at your own home and at a fraction of the cost. Pair the scallops with some chardonnay and you might well think that you are actually dining in a fine dining restaurant.
Please bear in mind that there are two kinds of scallops available in the market, one is natural and the other is treated with water. When buying scallops, always get the natural untreated scallops as they taste absolutely divine. They look opaque (instead of translucent) and milky white in color. The ones treated with water have up to 30% water content and the flavor is a far cry from the “real” scallops. Costco is a great place to buy scallops, always fresh, big, succulent and untreated. It’s expensive but they are well worth the money spent.
