Does anyone have an amazing, and not time consuming, recipe for bay scallops?

Question

Im having a hard time finding good recipes and uses for bay scallops. Most of the recipes out there call for sea scallops. I feel comfortable in the kitchen, I just dont want to spend half my day in there. Maybe 30-60 min max. Thanks so much Ive been looking for a long time now.

Answer 3

That's funny...the first two recipes are exactly the same..hmm..
Anyhoo...I love bay scallops with pasta! I just saute up some olive oil, butter and garlic, toss in some veggies if you'd like-sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, chopped asparagus, chopped broccoli, chopped spinach, etc. Cook until veggies have softened somewhat and throw in your scallops. The scallops will release some of their juice as they cook - it won't take long for them to cook, usually just a couple of minutes. Throw it all onto some freshly cooked pasta, top with parmesan and serve!
Or just do the scallops by themselves, or add some shrimp in there...yuuuuummmm.

Answer 4

You can broil them quickly in a garlic butter sauce, or include them in a Chinese stir-fry. They are also good in this recipe.

Garlic Shrimp Casserole

2 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pint leftover rice
2 pints small shrimp (can sub scallops)
3/4 cup toasted panko bread crumbs (Japanese bread crumbs)

Preheat oven to 350ºF.
In a small saucepan, combine the chicken stock and the cornstarch slurry and bring to a simmer for 3 minutes. Add the cream and the red pepper flakes. In a foil lined terra cotta pot, pour the rice and add the leftover garlic shrimp. Then pour the cream mixture over it. Top with the toasted panko and place in the oven for 45 minutes. Cool a few minutes before serving.
