To ensure perfectly seared scallops with a delicious brown crust, it is essential to start with dry scallops, as excess moisture prevents proper browning.
The process of drying scallops involves patting them dry with paper towels and salting them, which not only seasons but also draws out excess moisture for optimal cooking.
Cooking scallops requires a hot pan and a brief cooking time to avoid overcooking. A well-seared scallop should have a crispy crust and a tender, buttery center.
Unlike bay scallops, sea scallops have a larger surface area that makes them ideal for searing. The right technique can transform them into a melt-in-your-mouth delicacy.
