Ingredients
- Scallops
Salt and Pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
12-16 large scallops 3-4 per person
- Carbonara
8 slices thick cut bacon, diced, and cut away excess fat
1 shallot, finely sliced
1 clove garlic leave whole
4 green onions
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup parmigiano reggiano, grated
fresh ground pepper
14 oz (400g) pasta (under your favorite pasta)
Directions
- Pasta Carbonara
- Cooking pasta in large stainless steel pot.
- In small bowl, mix together cream, egg yolks and 3/4 of cheese.
- In large skillet, cook bacon until crisp, add shallots and 1/2 green onions.
- Smash down garlic clove a bit, add to bacon.
- When pasta is finished, drain well, then add to skillet of bacon.
- Toss well, and then transfer to large bowl.
- Add cream mixture to pasta and combined well. Make sure pasta is still hot in order to cook the eggs and melt the cheese.
- Arrange pasta on plate, top with seared scallops, add some fresh ground pepper, grated parmesan, and green onions.
- Perfect Pan Seared Scallops
- Blot scallops with paper towel to remove any water. Salt and pepper.
- Heat large non-stick frying pan, add 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- Add scallops leaving plenty of space between. Overcrowding the pan will drop the pan temperature and cause scallops to steam rather than sear. (should work in batches)
- Sear for about 2-4 minutes or when bottom is a nice golden brown. Don’t move them around in the pan or you will prevent them from forming that nice brown crust. After a couple of minutes have peek under to see if golden brown.
- Turn to sear other side. (about 1-3 more minutes)
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter to pan now.
- Spoon the melted butter over the scallops as the other side finishes cooking.
- Transfer to paper towel covered plate.
- Keep warm in oven, if making in batches.
