Spicy Garlic Scallops

April 3, 2010

  

Samar has always been the place where I can gather the freshest and the best sea food experience in Eastern Visayas. First, it goes with the availability of the catch of the day. Second is the local drink that is Bahalina from Palo, Leyte and third is the company of good friends to whom you will share the food and drinks.

 

Every time I’m in Samar, this is the experience that awaits me. During my last visit, my friend Melvin Labro prepared this special pulutan for us. It is his version of Spicy Garlic Scallops.

 

Here is the recipe

 

½ kilo scallops (removed from the shell)

1 Tablespoon Kikoman Soy sauce

2 Tablespoon of Oyster Sauce

1 teaspoon of Sesame Oil

1 onion chopped

1 red bell pepper ( sliced linearly)

3 teaspoon of fried minced garlic

½ cup olive oil

3 pieces of minced siling labuyo

 

Direction

 

Sautee the onions with olive oil and mix the scallops after 3 minutes. Make sure that you will not burn the onion. After the scallops turn a little-bit brown you may add all of the spices.  Add additional soy sauce and oyster sauce depending to your desired saltiness. Add the red bell pepper, siling labuyo and minced garlic.  When the bell pepper is half-cooked you may place all of the ingredients to a presentable plate and serve it right-away.  

 

Thanks to my good friend Melvin Labro who cooked this delectable dish for us. It was supposedly a pulutan but we cannot help it to request for rice. It was indeed a good viand too. We had a wonderful food tripping and drinking weekend at Catbalogan Samar. It was truly another rapsa moment.
