Scallop With Smoked Onion And Razor Clam Recipe

• STEP 4.Remove the scallops from the skillet and set them aside. In the same skillet, add the smoked onion rounds and razor clams. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, until the clams are heated through.
• STEP 5.To serve, place a few smoked onion rounds on a plate. Top with a scallop and a razor clam. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Cooking Tips

• Make sure to properly clean the razor clams to remove any sand or grit.
• Do not overcook the scallops, as they can become tough and rubbery.
• If you don't have access to a smoking rack, you can use a stovetop smoker or a smoking gun to smoke the onion.

Storage and Serving

• This dish is best served immediately after cooking.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Reheat the leftovers gently in a skillet over low heat to prevent the scallops from becoming overcooked.
