Alaska scallops: they are not only more flavorful, but they are larger and also have superior nutritional properties.
Scallops are an exceptional food source, and have so many ideal characteristics that they are just too good to pass up. In addition to having some of the most impressive nutritional properties (they are high in proteins, low in fats, and even have a considerable potassium level), scallops are unbeatable in flavor and texture. Of all the many kinds of mollusks in the sea, the scallop is without a doubt the most highly appraised-the mere elegance of its shell, with its perfect symmetry, is a clear sign of its superiority in relation to the other members of its family. Considering the robust flavor and excellent texture of this delicacy, scallops and pasta will always be a dynamic duo.
As far as actually preparing such dishes goes, there are a few options. You can cook the scallops separately and then add them to a completed pasta dish, or you can cook them in a sauce or sauté to which cooked pasta will be incorporated

Scallops l'Orange | scallop recipes

Scallops l'Orange | scallop recipes



Ingredients:



1 1/2 lbs Alaska Scallops
Juice from 2 small Oranges (about 1/2 cup, or so)
2 Tbsp Grand Marnier Liqueur (Hey, you deserve it!)
1 clove Garlic minced (alright, make it 2 cloves…what the heck)
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 Tbsp melted Butter
1 tsp dried Parsley
White Pepper, to taste


Directions:

Lightly dust the scallops on all sides with the pepper. Heat a large skillet to medium high. Add your oil. Now, feel free to drop in your scallops, flat side down and sauté until golden brown (about 2 minutes, or so). (You may have to do this in two batches, since you don't want to crowd the scallops like a box of saltine crackers). Turn your scallops to sauté on the other side (until you see that golden browness thing again). If need be, reduce the heat so as to not burn any of your pan juices.

Get that skillet off the heat and, using tongs (the idea here is to keep the juices in the pan), pluck your scallops aside into a warm bowl.

Reheat the pan to medium low. Toss in the garlic and sauté for about 15 seconds, or so. Pour in the orange juice. Add the melted butter and while you're at it. splash in the grand marnier and lob in the parsley. Using extreme vigilance here 'allow' your sauce to simmer for about 4 minutes, or so, to slightly thicken.

Partitively place your scallops onto individual plates. Delicately drizzle your sauce over your scallops.

Garnish with slivered green parts of a scallion and a slice of fresh orange.

Serve with your favorite sumptuous steamed rice and various vegetables. Or, serve your scallops around a magnificent mound of mashed potatoes particularly placed in the middle of your plate, which will of course be triumphantly topped with a splash of melted butter.
