"Scallops, to me, are always a special dinner. They are expensive so you want a recipe that you can rely on and that pleases your palate. I like this one. Ask your fish market for "dry scallops" They release very little liquid and that is the key to get a good crusty sear on the scallops. The photos are East Coast Sea scallops not Dry scallops but they were very good. This recipe is from bon appetit magazine"
