BBB and Sautéed Scallops. (Extra Butter)



I don’t remember what I paid for these, but it must have been $10.95 per pound or less, because I bought them.

I love Scallops just about anyway you can make them, but my favorite is still sautéed in a lot of Butter.
I love Scallops wrapped in Bacon too, but IMO they interfere with each other a little too much.
So I decided to Pan Fry some of my Buckboard Bacon, and then remove the Bacon, add the Butter to the Bacon Fat, and I sautéed the Scallops in that. Then I ate them together, alternating forkfuls of each.

So I did just that, and it was unbelievable this way. The Scallops were awesome & Moist, and the Bacon was just the way I like it through & through, not too moist or soggy from being made with the moist, buttery Scallops.
I will be making it just like this from now on, even though it is a rare occasion that I get to make this, because the Scallops are usually too expensive.

OOPS—I spilled a bunch of Browned Butter all over my Scallops!!! Oh well, I’ll just have to roll my scallops in it while I’m eating them!! LOL


Thanks for looking,


Bear

Those looks great Bear - sauteed quickly in hot butter is the best way. $11 for dry scallops is a great deal. I get them at Costco all the time for $15. I don't bother with wet (treated) scallops - they don't sear well and the flavor is so diluted, they don't even taste like scallops.

Exactly!!
Around here they're usually either $14.95 or $17.95.
I buy them on sale @ $9.95 or $10.95, which isn't very often!
I'm kinda glad Mrs Bear doesn't like Seafood!!
And Thanks for the Like.

I think my doctor just upped my blood pressure medication, and I'm only looking at the pictures.

Great job on those scallops Bear.

Point for sure

Looks great as always. I have never tried scallops. We like them but I have never cooked them.
 
Buddy that is a well deserved plate of food there ! Looks really good . Love scallops .
 
One of my favorite meals!
Not so good for the arteries, but they sure taste good!
I'll take a plate please!!

Scallops are She Who Must Be Obeyed's favourite. When we traveled in New Brunswick, she ate scallops every day. I will have to cook up some BB Bacon and scallops and give credit to the Bear! Big like.
