Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use frozen scallops?
A: Yes, you can use frozen scallops, but be sure to thaw them completely and pat them very dry before cooking to ensure a good sear.
Q: How do I know when scallops are done?
A: Scallops are done when they are opaque in the center and feel firm to the touch, but still have a slight give. Overcooking can make them tough, so keep a close eye on them as they cook.
Q: Can I use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon?
A: Absolutely! Turkey bacon is a great alternative if you’re looking to reduce fat content or prefer its flavor. Just be aware that turkey bacon may not render as much fat, so you might need to add a little extra olive oil to the skillet when cooking.
Q: Can I make this dish dairy-free?
A: Yes, to make this dish dairy-free, substitute the butter with a plant-based butter or olive oil, and ensure that any other ingredients you use, such as bacon, are dairy-free.
