[Teardrop]

Hiya,
can anyone help, I've got frozen scallops, i know how to cook them, but has anyone got any ideas to add some flavour to them....... I did miss Gordon Ramsays the other day on tv i know he was cooking scallops.

Thanks.x

yeh, I'd be interested in this too. Hubby likes them when we go out but I've never done them at home...

A friend sent me a recipe for shrimp and scallop posole---a very light, flavorful soup with lots of cilantro, hint of lime...wonderful, and even better the next day when the flavors "marry." I think this came originally from Bon Appetit magazine:

SHRIMP AND SCALLOP POSOLE

1 T olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups bottled clam juice
1 15-ounce can white hominy, drained and rinsed
1 cup commercially-prepared salsa verde (tomatillo) medium or mild
2 T finely-chopped sundreid tomatoes in oil
1 T finely-grated lime peel
1 lb uncooked large shrimp, peeled
1 lb large sea scallops, halved
4 T chopped cilantro, divided

Heat oil in large skillet and cook onion about 5 minutes. Add garlic, stir about 30 seconds. Add next 5 ingredients, simmer 5 minutes. Cool slightly (or can refrigerate for several hours at this point.) When ready to serve, bring soup to simmer, add 3 T cilantro and seafood. Simmer just until seafood is opaque, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Divide into 6 bowls and sprinkle more cilantro on each.
