Deeeelish! I love scallops. I think I like them just about any way I've
ever prepared, or had prepared for me. Good eats.

See Stevie, you fool no one. You know you read our posts. And change those
horrible pumps. You'll never be voted in as moderator with those ugly shoes
on.

I'm one of those people who think sea scallops should never be overwhelmed
by something like curry powder. They have a wonderful naturally sweet
taste. They don't even need salt or pepper. Pan fried in a mixture of
butter and a neutral oil (like canola) until just opaque, they're fabulous.
And dammit, I forgot to buy some when I was at the store yesterday!

Sounds very nice, I saved this simple recipe. I usually use bay scallops but
I might try sea scallops again. I love those with fresh garlic, unbreaded,
sauteed and servefd over brown basmati and wild rice with steamed snow peas.
I will try your way next.

Just try them with butter and just a splash of dry white wine and a
little cream as the liquid reduces I add a hint (tiny amount of lime or
pineapple juice)

Each to his (or her) own. But scallops have such a beautiful, subtle
taste that I wouldn't dream of eating them that way.

Personally, I like them poached gently in white wine or a white wine
sauce and served with Jasmine rice and baby spinach or some wilted bok
choy, washed down with a bottle of good New Zealand pinot gris.
