Fresh Baby Spinach with Wild Mushrooms
Scallops are elegant and light and are never better than when broiled perfectly so that they are soft and tender on the inside and lightly crunchy on the outside. We season them with lemon and paprika for an elegant meal that goes best with a glass of wine and candlelight. Buy creamy-looking sea scallops from a merchant you trust. They must be fresh with virtually no odor. Avoid scallops that are bright, bright white, which means they have been soaked in a preservative solution. While harmless, the solution dilutes the scallop's already delicate flavor.
Yield: 4 servings
olive oil cooking spray
1 1/2 lbs sea scallops
juice of 2 lemons
1/2 cup water
1 Tbs sweet paprika
Preheat the broiler. Spray a broiling pan with olive oil cooking spray.
Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Lay the scallops in a single layer on the broiling pan and broil 2 inches from the heat source for 4 to 5 minutes, turning at least once, until lightly browned and cooked through and opaque. The scallops will cook quickly and should be watched closely.
Meanwhile, mix together the lemon juice, water, and paprika. Drizzle lemon juice sauce over each serving of hot scallops. Pass any leftover sauce on the side.
