[quote=Anonymous]Scallops are easy once you understand how to sear rather than boil/steam. If you defrost scallops, they are still wet and you add them to a cool pan with sauce/butter they will release more water and boil in the liquid. You don't get the good sear and they end up tasting rubbery. 1. Make sure that they are dry. Lay them on a paper towel. Turn them over after a few minutes onto a dry fresh paper. You can also season them with salt which will draw the water out before laying them on the paper towel. 2. Don't use a non-stick pan. A good quality non-stick pan is best. Start with a very small amount of butter, lemon juice and garlic. 3. You should hear a sizzle when you place them on the pan. If you don't it hasn't heated up enough. 4. Don't keep flipping them over. You can use one as your test scallop. Flip them when they start to look slight opaque and you have a good sear on the bottom. [/quote]
