BREADED SCALLOPS

We will go to the sea today. Scallops. Easy to make. Easy to eat. Let’s cook.

Ingredients:

½ pound scallops

2 tablespoons very fine breadcrumbs

1 teaspoon paprika or Spanish smoked pimentón

1 tablespoon corn flour

1 tablespoon corn meal

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Some extra virgin olive oil

This is going to be very easy. First, make sure the scallops are fresh. Then prepare the breadcrumbs, the smoked pimentón, the corn flour and the corn meal. Mix well and add the salt ant the black pepper too. Let the scallops get into this powdered mix.

Heat some oil in a pan. Do not use much, just two or three tablespoons. When it is hot, fry the scallops. Do it gently so that the scallops do not lose the breading. Cook them for about four minutes. Then, they will be ready.

A perfect tapa. A perfect appetizer. It can go well with almost everything. You choose. Enjoy!

Nice read & looks like an awesome recipe. Snack seasonings really do contribute to yummy dishes like this one. Poor ingredients equal a poor recipe and product. Thanks for the recipe though!! Looks awesome!

My Recipes

I started my blog called Second Helpings to share my experiences in the kitchen and also my favourite recipes. This is not a blog for gourmets, I mean not only for gourmets. In fact I do not believe in those kinds of tags. I believe in good food. I would like to inspire people who have never cooked before to start cooking. I would love to be of help, give advice and encourage you to cook. Believe me, if I can cook, you can too. It is not hard and it is healthy, because I will try to show you how to cook in a healthy, but delicious way. Of course, your comments will be welcomed and encouraged. I want to show you how to do things but I also want to learn. You can send comments either in English or Spanish.

Eating is fun. Everyone loves to eat. Well, almost everyone. I just want to show you that cooking is also fun.I normally cook for two people, so my recipes, if I do not say something else, will be for two people and maybe some extra second helpings. Of course, you can easily adapt my recipes at your convenience. If you have any doubts, we will try to help you.
