Fried Portuguese Style Bay Scallops

Recipe #370098 | 15 min | 10 min prep | add private note

This is a simple, straight-forward way to prepare fresh bay scallops without distracting from their natural sweetness. The larger sea scallops would work just as well here.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Wash the scallops in cold water. Spread on paper towels to dry. Put flour in a small bowl. Toss scallops in flour to coat completely.
  2. 2
    Melt butter in a skillet over low heat. Add the scallops and pan fry 3 to 4 minutes, moving and turning, until they are firm but not browned. Add garlic and parsley and cook 30 seconds longer.
  3. 3
    Remove to a serving plate and squeeze lemon juice over scallops and season with salt and pepper.

I loved the seasoning flavors in this. The garlic was great! The flour did get a little pasty on the scallops, however, and I think this recipe would be better with sea scallops or diver scallops (if you can afford) dredged in flour, and then sauteed until they get golden. That is the major and only change I will make next time, and outside of that, this recipe is perfect. Made for Saucy Senorita's ZWT5

    These were terrific. I used Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Mix #1 to make them gluten free. Other than that followed the recipe exactly. I will make these often. Thanks for posting. Made for ZWT5 Groovy GastroGnomes.

    Very nice recipe for scallops. The only change I might make when I cook these again will be to add in a little Old Bay. Just a personal preference, I love the flavor it gives seafood. Made for the Dining Daredevils ZWT 5.
