Instructions
Step 1
Defrost scallops. To do this, fill them with cold water and wait until they are completely defrosted. If there is a lot of time before the start of cooking, then you can transfer scallops from the freezer to the refrigerator, so they defrost slowly, but this method preserves all the useful properties of the product as much as possible. Defrosting is quick with a microwave oven, but as a result, the product thaws unevenly. This type of defrosting is generally unacceptable for scallops. they can become tough and tasteless. Never pour hot water over frozen scallops; you will spoil them immediately. In the future, it will become almost impossible to cook something tasty from them. Do not re-freeze scallops as this may damage the food.
Step 2
Cut the thawed scallops into small pieces. Pour boiling water over them and let sit for about five minutes. Scallops treated in this way will not give off much water during frying. Drain them in a colander and let the water drain.
Step 3
Heat the skillet vigorously, add butter, you can also use any other butter or butter mixture. Pour the pieces of thawed scallops into it and fry for about 3 minutes, this is enough time to fully cook this product. It should be noted that the longer you fry scallops, the harder they become. When frying, a small amount of water may come out, wait for it to evaporate and cook for about one more minute. Do not forget to salt and pepper the scallops to taste.
Step 4
Serve rice or boiled potatoes with this dish. It is also delicious to eat scallops with fried eggs.
