"From the Weight Watchers cookbook called "Cook it Quick" Make sure to pat the scallops dry before you mix them with the flour and salt. That way they won't soak up too much flour. You can substitute smaller Scallops just make sure you adjust the cooking time. You don't want to overcook them or they will become tough and rubbery. This had 4 points on the old program."

I'm not giving stars on this review because I'm not sure if it was the recipe or if my scallops were a little off, but the flavor wasn't what I expected. I'm thinking it might have been my scallops, so I'll dig this recipe out and try it again next time I have some. It was very easy, and encourage you to give it a go too.

Lovely combination of flavours. The amount of lemon was just right (about 4 tablespoons). I used 5 large garlic cloves. I did not have fresh parsley so used dried. Be sure not to over cook the scallops or they will turn rubbery. This is a do again recipe.
