Pan Roasted Scallops W Sweet Potato Puree And Walnut Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• PREPARE SWEET POTATOES:.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Pierce the potatoes in several places.
• Bake sweet potatoes until tender, about 45 minutes.
• Halve the potatoes lengthwise, and scoop the pulp into a medium bowl.
• Stir in the milk, ginger, salt and pepper.
• Beat with an electric mixer at low speed until blended and smooth; keep warm.
• PREPARE SCALLOPS:.
• Heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until the butter just begins to brown slightly.
• Add the scallops, cook, turning once, until browned on the outside, and just opaque in the center, about 1 minute on each side.
• Sprinkle with the scallions and serve with the potatoes.

Steps:

• If you're using bay scallops, keep them whole. If you're using sea scallops, cut each 1 in half horizontally. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, toss with flour, and shake off the excess.
• In a very large saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter over high heat until sizzling and add the scallops in 1 layer. Lower the heat to medium and allow the scallops to brown lightly on 1 side without moving them, then turn and brown lightly on the other side. This should take 3 to 4 minutes, total. Melt the rest of the butter in the pan with the scallops, then add the shallots, garlic, and parsley and saute for 2 more minutes, tossing the seasonings with the scallops. Add the wine, cook for 1 minute, and taste for seasoning. Serve hot with a squeeze of lemon juice.
