Seared scallops fettuccine recipe.
Seared scallops with delicious homemade wine sauce. Very easy, healthy, and delicious seafood recipe.
Scallops are more than 80% protein. According to http://www.menshealth.com “one 3 oz (90 g) serving provides 20 g of protein and only 95 g calories”
How to eat scallops: Sear them, it is a very fast and easy way to prepare this seafood.
Purchase fresh and dry-packed scallops. Place them in a large bowl. Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. While you heat the skillet, pat scallops dry with paper towels and season with salt and cracked black pepper, to taste.
When the skillet is hot, add one tablespoon of olive to it.
Carefully place scallops in hot oil, seasoned side down, and season the top sides. Sear scallops until the bottom is caramelized (for about 2 minutes), then flip them and sear for further 1-2 minutes.
Serve seared scallops with sautéed vegetables or cooked brown rice. Dry white wine is good to pair with this seafood recipe.
