What is a good Recipes for Cooking Scallops?!
Answers:
Scallops tend to become very rubbery if you cook them for a long time!. They best way to cook scallops is to sear them!. Make sure you get nice big ones (they should be about and inch thick at least, and NOT water packed as they will just shrivel if they are)!.
Lightly season them (bit of salt and pepper, maybe some cajun spices), and sear them in a nonstick pan with a bit of oil in it on med-high (make sure you can hear the sizzle) for about 3 minutes per side max!. They should be nice and warm in the middle, but not rubbery (should have the consistency of a nice sashimi)!.
