Cooking Tips

• Make sure to use dry scallops for this recipe, as they will sear better.
• Do not overcrowd the skillet when cooking the scallops, as this can prevent them from getting a nice golden crust.
• Feel free to adjust the amount of vodka and vermouth in the sauce to suit your taste preferences.
• Serve the scallops immediately after cooking to ensure they are at their best texture and flavor.

Storage and Serving

• Screaming Martini Scallops are best enjoyed immediately after cooking.
• If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, gently warm the scallops in a skillet over low heat until heated through.
• Serve the reheated scallops with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of herbs.
