By traciesparks

A very tasty presentation for scallops, I served it over rice.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 pound sea scallops
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 cup white wine or reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
• 1 garlic clove, minced

Preparation

Step 1

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine bread crumbs and salt. Add scallops, a few at a time, and shake to coat.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown scallops in butter and oil for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes on each side or until firm and opaque. Remove and keep warm.

Add the wine, lemon juice, parsley and garlic to the skillet; bring to a boil. Pour over scallops. Serve immediately. Yield: 3-4 servings.
