Chicken Broth: Adds savoriness and flavor Garlic: mincing the garlic will saute at an even rate, careful not to burn it. Garlic Powder: Adding garlic powder helps give you that bold garlic flavor. Italian Seasoning: One of my favorite quick go to spices Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grate your own or look for it pre-shredded in you store. Spinach: Don’t be shy with spinach it will cook down. Chop it small pieces to avoid large leaves. Sun-dried Tomatoes: Find jarred sun-dried tomatoes where you find canned vegetables.

How to Cook Perfect Tender Scallops:

If you have never cooked scallops at home, it can seem intimidating. Here are a few tips to help make it easy.

Buying: Look for frozen wild caught scallops without the roe for ease. The roe is a bright orange or coral colored crescent shape that can still be attached. It can taste a bit bitter. If that is all you can find simply remove it before cooking. Whole scallops will also come with the roe and the muscle that attaches it to the shell, that too will need to be removed. Thaw: Place the scallops in a bowl of cold water for 10-20 minutes until completely thawed. You can also thaw them over night in a bowl in the refrigerator. Pat Dry: Thoroughly patting them dry with a couple of sheets of paper towel is important before you season and cook. If there is too much water left in the scallops, it will release while cooking and they’ll simmer instead of sear. Sear: When the scallops are done they’ll have a beautiful crust on each side and the center should be milky white, or opaque. Internal temp will be 130 degrees Fahrenheit.

How to Store Scallops:

Serve: Scallops should not be left at room temperature for more than 2 hours, for safety reasons. Store: Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Freeze: You can freeze cooked scallops for up to 3 months, but do not add the sauce before freezing. Make the creamy garlic sauce fresh when ready to serve.
