Garlic Meets Alaska Scallops in a Delicious Dish

When cooking seafood, it's important to find a flavor that compliments the flavor of your fish or shellfish without overpowering it. You don't want to eat a salmon with a pepper flavor that makes the fish taste different. You also don't want to cook scallops in a fashion that will take away from the delicious, rich flavor they come with naturally. Pairing garlic with your Alaska scallops will add flavor without taking away from the already delicious flavor, and the recipe is easy to prepare.

The items you will need for your garlic scallops includes: one pound of Alaska scallops, one medium-sized and finely diced onion, about five cloves of chopped or crushed garlic, one tablespoon of olive oil, half a cup of pouring cream, four spring onions sliced on an angle, a splash of white wine and one tablespoon of finely chopped chives.

Start by frying the garlic and onion in a hot pan with oil for about two minutes on medium heat. You do not want to allow the onion to change colors, but you do want it to soak in the garlic and oil. Add the Alaska scallops to the onion and oil and lightly cook each side for 20 seconds. Remove the scallops from the pan after you have cooked each side for 20 seconds. Turn the heat up from medium to medium high and add a splash of white wine. Let the wine reduce for about one minute and then add the pouring cream and reduce until your sauce is think enough to coat the pan.

Once your sauce is thick enough, add the scallops and spring onions to the sauce and stir it around for about one minute. The final step before eating is to place your delicious garlic Alaska scallops on some rice pilaf, pour the sauce over the dish and add a little garnish with the chives. You'll be able to serve about four to six people with the above measurements and quantities - depending on how hungry everyone is. Though you will probably find that everyone wants seconds of your delicious, flavorful garlic Alaska scallops.

How to Make Delicious Cheese Garlic Bread

One of the most important things about making delicious and fresh garlic bread is finding the ingredients. I just go to my local grocery store. No need to waste time and money going to specialty shops, unless you really need something authentic or you know about a local place with great fresh bread. It's up to you of course, just remember that the bread is usually a side dish, so you don't need to spend a lot to make it great.

The first thing you'll need is a loaf of bread. I like French or Italian bread. White or wheat are tasty, and some grocery stores have bread with roasted garlic already inside and other varieties. Try something new next time. I usually slice off as much as I need and wrap up the rest for later. Then slice it in half so there's a top and bottom side. Lightly rub or drizzle olive oil or butter on open side of each slice.

Next we need a fresh bulb of garlic. Well, fresh is relative here because it can sit a while and still be good. You'll probably only need a few cloves from the bulb chopped up into very small pieces to sprinkle on each piece before putting on the cheese.

At this point I like to sprinkle on some Italian Seasonings. You can find it at the store under the same name, it's a variety of spices that go well on garlic bread. Otherwise you can use parsley, oregano, or any other spices that would go with Italian foods.

Now we need cheese. Mozzarella is best, I like pre-shredded from the store. You can also add grated Parmesan or Romano on top for a twist.

Place it in the oven on a cookie sheet for 9-12 minutes at 350 F, or until the cheese and crust is the desired level of golden brown. Cool several minutes before eating to avoid burns.
