"Company worthy, but you may not want to share! Wow - made this with jumbo scallops and vine ripe tomatoes. Spectacular... From Epicurious. To be honest, the original recipe used the coulis for 6 servings (and 30 count - or 2.5 lbs jumbo scallops)! But it's simply not enough coulis for that many. We used the whole coulis amount for only two servings - and it was well worth the splurge!"

Original is 2 servings

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Cook shallot and garlic in 2 teaspoons oil in a small skillet over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute. Add corn, basil, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until corn is tender and beginning to brown on edges, about 4 minutes. Add milk and scrape up the brown bits from bottom of skillet, then remove from heat. Set the used pan aside for later use.

Step 2

Purée corn mixture in a blender at medium speed until very smooth, about 1 minute. Force purée through a fine-mesh sieve into the small skillet, pressing hard, and then discarding solids. Cover coulis until ready to serve.

Step 3

Toss tomatoes with parsley and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl.

Step 4

Pat scallops dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté the scallops, turning over once, until golden and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes total. Meanwhile, reheat coulis over low heat. Add milk, if needed, to desired spreading consistency.

Step 5

To serve, spoon half the coulis onto center of two plates. Arrange 5 scallops per plate in a circle on coulis, then spoon tomatoes into center. Or arrange decoratively on the plate in any manner you prefer.

Company worthy, indeed! Loved everything about this dish from the corn coulis, scallops, to the tomato mixture, YUM! I opted not to press the corn coulis through a sieve, because I wanted to retain all that corny goodness and I’m glad I did. The smoothness of the corn, to the freshness of the tomatoes – along with the scallops, I was in heaven! Thank you, Lori, for sharing. Made it if FYC and Pick Me tag games.
