Steps:
- In a skillet, saute shallots in olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter until they begin to be translucent but not browned. Add garlic and cook for another minute. Set aside.
- Dry scallops with a paper towel and slice them in half,horizontally. Season scallops with salt and pepper and lightly dust in flour,removing any excess.
- In another skillet (or you can use the same one after removing sauteed shallots), drizzle a bit more oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Sear scallops for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Pour wine into the same skillet with the scallops and add thyme, bay leaf and shallot mixture and continue cooking until wine is reduced,for another 2-3 minutes.
- Divide scallops into shallow ovenproof dishes and spoon sauce over. I like using a shallow ramekins that would normally be used for creme brulee, but work perfectly for this. Top with Gruyere cheese and doteach ramekin with butter.
- Right before serving, place ramekins under the broiler for about 2 minutes or until cheese is just melted and serve.

COQUILLES SAINT-JACQUES A LA PROVENCALE
This recipe is from "The Cooking of Provincial France" from the Time-Life "Foods of the World" series of books from the late 60s/ early 70s. My mother had the whole series and I remember poring over those books endlessly as she would cook from them. This particular volume was authored by M.F.K. Fisher, nonetheless! It is delicious and a bit less fuss than the scallop shell/ ramekin presentation of the cream sauce version.

Steps:
- FOR THE SCALLOPS:.
- Wash the scallops in cold water and dry them with paper towels.
- Season scallops with salt and pepper; then dip them in flour and shake them in a sieve or colander to remove all but a light dusting of flour.
- In a 10 to 12 inch enameled or stainless-steel skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with the oil over medium heat. When the foam subsides. saute the scallops in two batches so they are not crowded in the pan, shaking the skillet and stirring the scallops until they are lightly browned.
- With a slotted spoon or spatula, transfer the scallops to a heated plate that has been lined with paper towels. Place the scallops in a warmed oven.
- GARLIC BUTTER:.
- In a 6 to 8 cup saucepan, clarify 8 tablespoons of butter by melting it slowly, skimming off the foam. Spoon the clear butter on top into a 6 to 8 inch skillet and discard the milky solids at the bottom of the pan.
- Heat the butter until it sizzles, but do not let it brown. Remove it from the heat and quickly stir in the garlic.
- Sprinkle the parsley over the scallops and serve them with the lemon wedges and with the garlic butter on the side, so each person can add the butter to their taste.

COQUILLE ST. JACQUES (SCALLOPS)
This is one of my favorites and it is the MOST AUTHENTIC RECIPE! Other recipes that omit some of the ingredients, such as the heavy cream, are not the true recipe for this wonderful tasting dish. Also, you must serve it in shells or ramekins & not over a bed of rice. It's just as good as other recipes for this dish that require many more steps. It's YUMMY!
