BAY SCALLOPS WITH SCALLIONS AND SESAME SEEDS
This simple recipe, adapted from David Paultstich, the chef at The Mark Hotel in New York, calls for just five ingredients - the best bay scallops you can find, butter, scallions, lemon juice and toasted sesame seeds. The gentle bite of the scallions and the tang of the lemon complement the natural sweetness of shellfish while a shower of sesame seeds adds a nutty, delicate crunch.

Steps:
- Bring 2 tablespoons of water to a boil in a small nonreactive saucepan, lower the heat and whisk in the butter a little at a time until the mixture becomes saucy.
- Add the scallions, then lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm over very low heat while cooking the scallops.
- Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the scallops; do not crowd. Cook without stirring until they brown lightly on one side, about 2 minutes. Turn and brown the other side.
- Serve the scallops drizzled with a little of the sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds.
