Saute Scallops with diced onion, celery, garlic in butter. Remove from butter when scallops are almost cooked through. Add a little more butter to pan scrap dripping add 2 tbl flour to make a rue. When light brown add milk and whisk, Salt and pepper to taste. Add scallop mixture back to pan heat through and pour over pasta or rice. I make this when we are camping. Enjoy.

2 Tbs H2O
1 tsp dijon mustard
Garlic
3 strips bacon (cooked/crumbled)
little bit of chardonay

little bit of parm cheese
veg oil

Sprinkle scallops with salt and pepper, dust with flour

Heat oil over high heat

Add scallops, saute until brown and just cooked through 3 minutes per side

Transfer scallops to platter

Cook up bacon, and crumble it up.

Add butter, lemon juice, H2O, crumbled up bacon, some chardonay, cream and parm cheese (use what you want) and mustard to skillet and scrape up browned bits

Over med-low heat, whisk until sauce simmers and thickens (about 2 mins)

Wow...muchas gracias, amigos.


Bon appetite, nomads..

What a great collection of recipes! My thanks to al of youl..I've copied this thread into my recipe file. I can't wait to try all of them..one by one. (I might wait for Co-pilot to test some of the more intricate menus.)

Willyairstream..you were wondering how much per kilo the shrimp and scallops are going for these days?

My beach vendor and long time Mulege amigo, Rafael, usually quotes about 180 per kilo shrimp jumbos..and 100-120 per kilo large scallops. He has much gas expense and works on commission. But we have known each other too long for those prices..he gave me all that you see in the photo...2 kilos big shrimp, 2 kilos scallops, 2 tubs strawberries for 400 pesos total. We are both happy with that price and I buy whenever he comes around..with a bit of mordida and a couple cervezas.


Rafael also has some great oysters from time to time..ostiones or ostras. With which a neigbor made these incredibily delicious Coyote Oysters Rockerfeller. Gracias Marita, those hors d'oeuvres are to die for!




DO NOT SHOW THIS PHOTO TO YOUNG CHILDREN..OR DOGS. And NO, I am NOT drunk. It's 10:00 AM for chrissakes and my eyes are always crossed until.....hmm. Check back around noonish.




With some of the jumbos, mi compadre makes a very good shrimp c-cktail sauce..and enjoys his creation con mucho gusto.


Thanks once again, nomads. This forum always gives and gives.





I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

One of my favorites:

Green peppercorns and Grand Marnier give a slight peppery orange flavor to flamed strawberries. Be sure to read the flambe tips before beginning.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
12 ounces strawberries, cut in half
2 ounces butter (cold)
2 ounces granulated sugar
1 teaspoon green peppercorns
3 ounces orange juice
1 ounce lemon juice
1 ounce Grand Marnier
1-1/2 ounces Pernod
Preparation:
Heat pan, add sugar, and carmelize until gold. Add cold butter, stir well. Quickly add orange juice and lemon juice and stir. Add Grand Marnier and reduce until sauce has viscosity. Add strawberries and cook gently for maximum 2 minutes. Add green peppercorns, do not crush them. Cook for another half a minute.

Overheat one side of the pan by tilting the handle down. Move the pan away from the flame. Add Pernod, put quickly back to the flame and by tilting the pan upwards, let the Pernod ignite and flame.

To serve, place a round piece of genoise (or sponge cake) in the middle of the plate. Lay the strawberries around and sprinkle with vanilla-flavored powder sugar.

Yield: 1 serving
