Tonight for dinner Nick and I headed over to my in-laws to
make lamb chops and scallops. We’re not
really big on Valentine’s Day anyway so it was nice to get together with the
family. We had originally wanted to
have scallops and lamb for two, but when the Fongs invited us over for lamb and
scallops for five, we were all in. On
top of the lamb and scallops, my mother-in-law also had picked up shrimp to
make scampi. They had taken out a bottle
of white wine for the scampi sauce, but I didn’t know what it was for so I
started to make my own wine reduction for the scallops. It’s a good thing they had a whole bottle for
me to use! I didn’t know that scampi was
on the menu. The dinner turned out
really well and I ate so many scallops I think I might actually be scallop-ed
out for a while. I didn’t know that
could happen.
While Nick grilled the lamb chops and asparagus outside, I
made the scallops and scampi. I was really
quite surprised how well the seafood came out. Sometimes I’m a little hit or
miss with doneness. Usually I pull the
seafood off a little too late so that they are slightly over cooked (in my
opinion), but this time I hit the nail on the head. My parents happen to like their scallops a
little more well-done than I do.
