Good quick recipe for scallops??

Many thanks again. I ended up making Seared Scallops with Roasted Garlic Sabayon (http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Seared-Scallops-with-Roasted-Garlic-Sabayon-107636) from Epicurious.com. Was pretty good, but the sabayon could have used a bit more flavor. Also not as quick to prepare as I was looking for. I did like serving the scallops on a bed of wilted arugula. Thanks again!

Those all sound really good. My husband pats them dry, seasons them with salt and pepper, and then sears them in a cast-iron skillet in butter and olive oil that he gets pretty hot. I have a feeling that he finishes them with a little more butter, but I choose to ignore that (for health reasons, haha). I know you said sea scallops, but when I was little (and I still do this now), my mom used to put bay scallops in a gratin dish with a little garlic, white wine and lemon juice, and I think a little butter, cover them with some breadcrumbs (not a ton, just a topping) mixed with some herbs (fresh or dry) and a little olive oil or melted butter, and bake it until the breadcrumbs brown (it only takes a few minutes). It's simple and yummy. Enjoy your scallops!

Then I recommend wrapping them in bacon! Very easily and an impressive dish to serve.

Do you have small bay scallops or larger sea scallops?

Dip in egg and Panko crumbs and pan fry- delicious!

Pat dry, salt and pepper, pan fry or broil with a little oil. Serve with a wedge of lemon.
