Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat 1 tsp of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breadcrumbs and 1 tsp of the lemon pepper; cook, stirring frequently, until the breadcrumbs are golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

2. Wipe the skillet dry with a paper towel; pat the scallops dry with a paper towel. Coat the scallops with cooking spray. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 tsp lemon pepper. Heat the skillet over high heat. Add the scallops and cook, without stirring, until browned, about 1 minute. Turn scallops over and cook until cooked through, about 30 seconds. Remove from the skillet; keep warm.

3. Spiralize zucchini (about 4 cups). Heat the remaining 2 tsps oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes burst and release some juices, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and lemon peel, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add broth and salt; cook until slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Add butter and swirl to melt. Remove from heat; add zucchini, and toss gently. Divide zucchini mixture among 4 plates; top with scallops, toasted breadcrumbs and basil.

4. Serve immediately.
