August 29, 2011 by susanelester 5 Comments


Creamy Scallop Vol au Vents

In a small saucepan, saute:
2 Tablespoons Butter
1 pound medium Scallops
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Stir until cooked through – they will turn opaque.
Then add 2 Tablespoons Sherry, stir, and set aside.

In a medium saucepan, saute:
1/4 cup Butter
5 Green Onions, thinly sliced
2 ribs Celery, finely diced
2 cloves Garlic, minced


Stir until vegetables begin to soften, then whisk in:
2 Tablespoons Flour
When butter is absorbed into the flour, whisk in:
1 1/2 cups cream
3 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
Salt and Pepper, to taste.
Continue to whisk until sauce thickens and stir in reserved Scallops.

While preparing the sauce, bake Puff Pastry Shells, according to directions.

Steamed Green Beans
Rinse fresh Green Beans and snap the ends off.
Place in a medium saucepan with about 2 inches of water.  
Sprinkle with Sunny Spain Seasoning, Salt, and Pepper.
Cover with the lid and steam over medium-high heat for 10 – 15 minutes.
Top with a dab of butter, if desired.

Bon Appetit!
