PAN-SEARED SCALLOPS WITH TARRAGON WHITE WINE SAUCE
This is one of those elegant meals that are simple and quick to make. If you are using frozen scallops thaw first. The oil should be hot before adding the scallops to keep them from sticking to the pan. Don't turn the scallops to soon or they will stick and tear. Only turn once when they are cooking otherwise the meat will dry out. Found this in Canadian Living.
