HOW TO COOK FRIED SCALLOPS RECIPES

Steps:

• Combine flour, corn flour and baking powder in a medium-size aluminum baking pan and shake around to mix well.
• Dry scallops with paper towels, then dip both sides in flour mixture and shake off any excess.
• Put a 20-inch iron skillet over a propane gas burner and turn burner to high. Add enough oil to come to a depth of just over 1/4 inch. Heat until oil is hot but not smoking; you can test it by dropping a small piece of scallop into the oil; it should bubble furiously.
• When oil is hot, add scallops in batches small enough so they’re not crowded, and cook just until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and eat right away.

Steps:

• Place frozen scallops in a zippered plastic bag and put in a cold water bath to defrost for 15 minutes. Turn bag over halfway through. (If you want to thaw it for longer, place the bowl in the refrigerator.) Once defrosted or if using fresh scallops, place them on a clean paper towel and thoroughly dry. Heat a seasoned cast iron skillet on medium-high for about 5 minutes. In the last minute, add ½ tablespoon butter to the skillet and melt.Salt and pepper the scallops and add them to the skillet. Cook for about a minute on each side. Remove the scallops and place on a clean plate. Turn off the heat and add remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the cast iron skillet. Allow to melt and then add lemon juice. Mix and then pour into a bowl for serving.Serve scallops with your favorite pasta or with vegetables. Drizzle lemon butter sauce on top of the scallops. Serve immediately.
