Sauteed Scallops Are An Impressive Dish To Cook

If you want to impress your family and friends with a sea-food dish then this dish of sauteed scallops is the one to fall in love with.

Scallops are delicious and simple cooking is the best way to cook them.

They can be used with various sauces but here I will describe an easy way for you to enjoy them and you can later add a sauce of your choice.

They are part of the oyster family a little bit like clams. They are called scallops because of their beautiful scalloped shells.

They also have two kinds of meat - the meaty part called scallop and the red and white soft part called roe.

In the United States the roe is usually discarded and only the scallop part used, but to be truthful, I used to gently cook the roe and give them to our dog; she loved them. Sadly, she's no longer with us...but that's nothing to do with the scallops!

They are a highly regarded cuisine in most countries.

Once you have tried these little gems you will want to keep this as one of your favourite fish recipes.
