Seared scallops on a bed of crispy bacon.

I didn’t eat the green onion. I flicked them off. They were just there for decoration :slight_smile: I can’t help myself with plating presentation…I’m a geek that way…:smirk:

Ok, I dont have much experience w/ cooking, but due to this forum & a few other great keto websites, I am learning. So here’s my question. I bought 2 pounds of frozen scallops from costco. 1. Should I thaw out the scallops - they’re huge? (Im assuming yes, but double checking) 2. Sear in butter for about how long? I have never prepared scallops, and def dont want to ruin them.

@softail925

You definitely want to thaw the scallops all the way through before cooking them. You should also dry them, using paper towels or kitchen cloth towels…get them as dry as possible to get a real nice sear.

Depending on pan and heat, the sear will take around 3 minutes on each side. Butter is fine to use. The scallops I show in the picture (and in recipe below) have been seared in bacon grease.

When you put your scallops in the hot butter or grease in the pan, DON’T move them around. Leave them alone to develop that beautiful brown crispy seared skin. Then with a spatula, lift them and flip to get the other side seared,repeating same process.

Hope this helps. The recipe for the scallops Is found here:

Ground lamb brochettes with mint and thyme

Oh my. I am stealing your food ideas, Fiorella! I have been bored with my usual cuisine. I wonder if the ground lamb brochettes would freeze well after cookery. Hmmm!

My experience is that they do freeze well. They tend to dry out just a tad though…but, can easily be revived with just a tiny bit of a dip (like mayo, or melted herbed butter or sour cream dip). Add a bit of garlic or herbs to melted butter and you’ve got a kick- ass meat course!
