Rehydrate the Scallops Soak in Water Brine or Sauce: Place the freeze-dried scallops in a bowl and cover them with warm water (or brine or sauce if you want to infuse them with flavor). For best results let them soak for 10-15 minutes. If you re looking for a richer flavor you can use brine or a flavored sauce (like seafood stock or a broth) to rehydrate the scallops. Important: Make sure the water or liquid fully covers the scallops to ensure even rehydration. Optional: If the scallops are still tough or have hard spots after the initial 10-15 minutes soak them for an additional 5-10 minutes until they are fully tender. 2. Drain and Pat Dry Once the scallops are fully rehydrated drain any excess liquid and gently pat them dry with a paper towel. This helps to remove any remaining moisture before cooking and prevents excess water from diluting your dish. 3. Cook the Scallops After rehydrating you can cook the scallops just like fresh scallops!
