Scallops-Harborside Style image

This is a very basic recipe for broiled scallops that came from "Jimmy's Harborside Restaurant" in Boston years ago. Quick and easy to prepare. Serve with rice pilaf or couscous and spinach or "something green." Makes a pretty plate and is delicious. You could substitute shrimp for the scallops.
