1562.0. "Broiled scallops for 8?" by MEMIT1::MISSELHORN () Fri Dec 16 1988 10:44

    Does anyone have a recipe for broiled scallops, not cooked in
    individual serving dishes, that will feed about 8 people?
    
    We are having a birthday lunch for my stepdaughter who loves
    scallops but is leary about new recipes (too bad because there
    are some delicious sounding ones earlier in this file).

    Plan at least one half pound per person; so four to five pounds.  
    
    Wash the scallops in cold water, and pull off those extra thingies
    on the side (I don't know what to call them, but they're like
    tendons -- they get rubbery and tough when you broil them).
    
    Melt enough butter to coat the bottom of an oven-proof baking dish.
    
    Place the scallops in the baking dish, sprinkle lightly with paprika,
    and broil 7 -10 minutes.  Serve immediately.
    
    The only difference between this recipe and the recipe for individual
    servings is the size of the dish you broil them in.
    
    Have fun.

1562.2SCALLOPS AND PARSLEYGRECO::CASINGHINOCrossroads seem to come and goMon Dec 19 1988 11:2721
    Here's a great scallop recipe I use all the time.
    
    	1 lb scallops
    	2 tbsp olive oil
    	2 cloves garlic, crushed
    	2 tbsp chopped parsley
    	2 tbsp capers
    	1/4 cup diced roasted peppers
    	1/4 cup bread crumbs
    
    In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil and garlic on low
    heat until garlic is lightly browned.  Turn your heat up high and
    toss in the scallops and parsley , stir frying until done.  Remove 
    from heat and add capers, peppers and 2 tbsp of crumbs.  Put into
    a casserole dish, top with remaining crumbs and broil until 
    lightly browned.  This meal is delicious and takes about 15 minutes
    to prepare.  You can get adventuresome and toss in a little sweet
    vermouth into the pan after your scallops are done (to deglaze)
    and add it to your caserole.

    or 8 first-course servings.
    
    12 bacon slices
    24 sea scallops(about 1 3/4pounds)these are larger than bay scallops
       and work better with this recipe.
    toothpicks
    salt
    seasoned pepper
    watercress sprigs
    1 lemon, cut into 4 wedges
    
    1. Preheat broiler 
    2. Cut each bacon slice crosswise in half; wrap each half around
       a scallop, securing with a toothpick.
    3. On rack in broiling pan, place scallops side by side in one
       layer; broil, 3 inches from heat, 8 to 10 minutes, turning
       once halfway through cooking time.
    4. Sprinkle lightly with salt and seasoned pepper; remove picks
       if serving as a main dish; transfer to platter. Garnish
       with watercress and lemon.
