I got a pound (454g) of scallops. How do I cook them? I have milk, butter, flour, and pasta. Make a cream sauce (bechamel) over pasta? Thanks munchie gang.

1/2 cup unsalted butter
6 ounces button mushrooms -- 1/4 inch slices
6 shallots -- medium, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic -- finely chopped
4 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons gin
1 tablespoon dry vermouth
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 pound scallops -- medium, cut in quarters
angel hair pasta

Directions:

In a large saucepan or skillet, melt the butter over moderate heat. Add the mushrooms, shallots, and garlic; saute until tender, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the cream, gin and vermouth and salt. Increase heat and gently boil until the mixture is reduced by a third, about 15-20 minutes while stiring constantly to prevent burning.

Stir in scallops and simmer 2 to 3 minutes more. Do not over cook the scallops or they will be tough.

Serve immediately over thin spaghetti or angel hair pasta.

also in my experience - do not over load the pan with scallops or they wont cook properly..
if needed do it in a couple batches

Wrap in bacon like said above and put 'em on some kebabs on the grill.

When you decide that you are going to go for something, and you don't let anything stand in your way, you open the door for great things to happen. And once you have made it that far, after having known what things look like from the bottom, you may find that the view from the top, is that much sweeter.
