Sea Scallops

Sea scallops suit a variety of menus from traditional to casual. Sweet and tender, they are delicious baked, sautéed, stir-fried, or marinated. They’re an excellent source of vitamins, minerals and high-quality protein, and extremely low in fat.

Heat a pan, season the scallops lightly and sear, in just a little oil or butter, for only 30 seconds on each side. As soon as they turn opaque, they’re done.
