For the love of Scallops !



Recommended Posts

I am loving scallops! Per myfitnesspal one large scallop its 35 calories and 5 grams of Protein. They are beautiful little chunks of Protein and a blank canvas so you can pair them with so many flavors!

My current favorite is garlic and then I use Chardonnay to deglaze the pan and make a light sauce .....

What's your favorite way to make scallops ?

So far I haven't cooked my own, but would like to. Following for ideas and recipes.

So far, the best scallops I have eaten post-op were at a Japanese hibachi restaurant.

I looooooooove scallops but only buy them when they're on sale because they are quite $$

I love the way they taste alone (slightly sweet with a hint of ocean). I cook them in butter and lightly salt/pepper.

I so love seafood with scallops being a top fave. I have pan fried them with some fresh minced garlic, a bit of sea salt and pepper and eaten with a side of homemade salsa. Yum!

Great thread! I LOVE scallops! Yes, they're pricey, so sometimes I buy the frozen bag of larger sea scallops and they aren't as high as fresh ones. I like them seared in the pan with a bit of garlic and then deglaze with either dry sherry, Madeira or white balsamic vinegar. Soooo good.

Great guys, now I'm going to be hankering for scallops...

I like mine salted and peppered, seared, glazed with a pan sauce of brown butter, white wine, shallots, lemon juice and zest, then finished with a sprinkle of fresh flat-leaf parsley. Yum!

I found a recipe on Pinterest for grilled scallops and orange kebabs with a honey ginger glaze. They were wonderful! I'm always a little nervous about over cooking them because they are so expensive, but I got it just right on the grill.

They are so easy make and I always buy the frozen ones.....I only grocery shop one day a week so fresh isn't really an option for me .

I started eating scallops once I was on soft foods. I still eat them frequently because they're easy to get down and they're yummy! I'm 4 months out and still struggle with steak and shrimp. Used to like lobster, can't stand the stuff now. Fish, especially tilapia and halibut, are also frequently on the menu.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
