Earlier this week I was in Costco to get some scallops because people
were talking about them here. We had some of them for supper tonight
and I was reminded about why I like scallops so much, and how easy they
are to cook. I cooked up some Basmati rice and prepared some snap peas
while my wife worked on the salad. I had defrosted the scallops in the
fridge, poured off a little moisture that had come out of them, wiped
them dry with paper towels and seasoned tops and bottoms with salt and
pepper. I heated up a non stick pan and put about a tablespoon of oil
in it. I put the scallops into the pan, laying them out being careful
not to crowd them. I gave them 3 minutes per side. I was stir frying
the peas while the scallops were cooking. When the scallops were done I
deglazed the pan with some white wine and added some butter to make a
sauce. I had also done a balsamic vinegar reduction, more for
appearance, but it went nicely with the scallops.

cooked. I tried something a little different in cooking them: brought
a pot of salted water to the boil, threw in the frozen shrimp, turned
off the head, and walked away. Some time later I came back and the
shrimp were perfectly cooked. I chilled them and had 1/4 of them on
a big salad with avocado (underripe), thinly sliced scallion, grape
tomatoes, radishes, and cucumbers. Dressed with lime juice, salt,
and extra-virgin olive oil. I had intended to have some julienned
jalapeno pepper on the salad, but forgot about it at the last minute.
And a slice of bread drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with salt.

Sounds very good, Cindy. Was your frozen bag one or 2 pounds?

When I buy them, they come in 2lb bags. I just take out enough
for one meal or so when I cook them. I'll eat them plain cooked
for a dinner and maybe save some for the next day. Either shrimp,
garlic, egg noodles or a plain shrimp sandwich is pretty
good..Fresh white bread, mayo and chopped shrimp.
Are you familiar with "Old Bay Seasoning?" That what I usually
use for shrimp. Salt your water well then add in quite a bit of
the Old Bay for the shrimp boil. Go heavy with it.
(and just enough water to cover the shrimp) I actually use enough
water to cover only about 1/2 then stir occasionally, then add in
quite a bit of the Old Bay for the shrimp boil. Go heavy with it.
That's very tasty and popular here. So tasty that I quit making
cocktail sauce long ago. Shrimp doesn't need that overpowering
sauce. Just the heavily spiced shrimp boil nails it.

I do get the slight flavor of the old Bay though
How do I cook shrimp? (crabs too)
1/2 water
1/2 vinegar
decent amount of salt
plenty of "old bay seasoning"

For seafood I like tartar sauce with a hint of horseradish and a lemon
wedge for tweaking.

You can substitute very thinly sliced cabbage for sprouts in dishes

such as Pad Thai or other stir-fries. You get the same visual as well
as a bit of crunch.
I never have bean sprouts in the house because they turn into a
liquified mess rather quickly, but a head of cabbage will last a long
time, and there are many ways to use it.

drop in the frozen shrimp, wait until they float to the top and then,
depending upon size of shrimp either give them another minute or for
the jumbo shrimp, give them 3 minutes. They are never over done this
way.
