Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
⅔ cup Chicken stock
2 bunches Parsley; stems picked
¼ cup White wine
12 Sea scallops
1 tablespoon Olive oil
Emeril's Essence; see * Note
½ cup Chopped fresh mild herbs
(basil; chervil, tarragon, parsley)
3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Minced garlic
8 ounces Fresh angel hair pasta; cooked, shocked, and
; tossed in olive oil
½ cup Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 tablespoons Finely-chopped parsley
Edible flowers

Directions

* Note: See the "Emeril's Essence Information" recipe which is included in this collection.

In a sauce pan, bring the chicken stock up to a boil. Remove from the heat.

Pour into a blender along with the parsley and white wine. Puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Season the scallops with Emeril's Essence. In a saute pan, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, saute the scallops for 2 minutes on each side. (The scallops should have a nice golden-brown sear on each side -** the oil must be almost smoking.) Remove from the pan. In a mixing bowl, whisk the herbs and extra-virgin olive oil together. Add the garlic. Toss the pasta with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon the coulis in the center of the plate. Mound the pasta salad in the center of the sauce. Arrange the scallops around the salad. Garnish with the cheese, parsley, and edible flowers. This recipe yields 4 servings.
