Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine tomato, basil, 1/4 tsp salt. 1/8 tsp pepper, toss gently.

2. Heat a large cast iron or heavy skillet over high heat. (non-stick pans will not work well with high heat searing). Add oil to pan, swirling to coat. Pat scallops dry with paper towels; sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper. Add scallops to pan; cook 2 minutes or until browned. Turn scallops; cook 2 min or until done. Remove scallops from pan and keep warm.

3. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add corn to pan; saute 2 min or until lightly browned. Add to tomato mixture; toss gently.
