Sautéed Scallops

Recipe by: Pati

A very impressive and delicious recipe for how simple it is! Just crush the garlic with the side of a chef's knife blade instead of chopping it, and keep the sprigs of rosemary whole - this allows them to be easily removed before serving.

Quick and tasty. As always be careful with the timing as the scallops will over-cook in seconds.

Altered ingredient amounts. THIS RECIPE WAS GREAT. I USED A LITTLE BIT MORE GARLIC AND A LITTLE LESS ROSEMARY. IT WAS PERFECT. JUST BE CAREFULL NOT TO OVER COOK THE SCALLOPS BECAUSE THEY WILL TURN OUT RUBBERY.

Used different ingredients. This was a little bland for us so I added more butter, 2 tablespoons white wine, garlic and spring onions.

Very good and quick. Suggest heating a Tablespoon of oil in pan before add ing butter so that butter does not burn.
