Bay Scallops with Blueberries and Pomegranate
By: Roni | Posted in: 5 WWP, Dinner Ideas, Food Photos | 5 Comments
I LOVE scallops. Always have. Only problem is they are only ever served one of two ways… seared or in a scampi. At least that’s how I always see them.
Small bay scallops are great because they cook up literally in 3 minutes and absorb a lot of flavor very quickly. Oh! and the boy likes them. Always a bonus in my book. :)
So I decided to whip up this idea I had. It’s simple, fun and liked all around. No complaints from husband or child. That’s a winner in my book!
- 2oz pomegranate-blueberry juice (just POM would work too but this is what I had on hand)
- 1/4 blueberries (I used the small frozen ones)
- 1lb (16oz) bay scallop defrosted
- 1 tsp olive oil (4g)
- 3 gloves of garlic minced
- 1/4 cup pomegranate arils
- Pinch of Tarragon
- Kosher Salt & Pepper
Whisk the POM juice and blueberries with a pinch of kosher salt and fresh ground pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil and garlic.
Clean the scallop and dry in a kitchen towel.
Once garlic starts to brown, add the scallops to the pan and cook for 1 minute before tossing. Add the POM juice mixture, bring to a boil then turn off the heat.
Scoop the scallops and blueberries out of the skillet, leaving the liquid, and put into a bowl. Top with the pomegranate arils and tarragon. Serve.
Now you could get 4 servings but they would be kind of small. So I’m going with 2. Simply cut the recipe in half and serve with a big ole salad or even over a bunch of spinach leaves!

That looks so good I want to stand back and slap myself! Get in my stomach now, you little sea scallops!
that looks SO GOOD. SO GOOD. definitly putting bay scallops on my next shopping list.
This looks so good. I only started eating scallops about 5 or 6 years ago and just got up the courage to cook them myself this year. I have some in the freezer so I may give this a try.
Love it! Love Scallops, love pomegranate, love blueberries!
Awesome.
I made this for dinner last night and it was soooo good and so easy. Thanks Roni!!
