Ingredients

1 lb scallops (i use bay scallops, but sea scallops would work just fine - just be sure to have at least one per person)
2-3 Tbsp butter
2 clove garlic, crushed
3 Tbsp chopped parsley
2 scallions (green onions), sliced thinly
1/4 c white wine (optional)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup cream

Steps:

1. Melt butter in a pan over medium-low heat; add the garlic, parsley, scallions (or green onions), wine, salt and pepper. Cover; simmer 10 minutes.
2. Add the scallops; simmer for another 5 minutes.
3. Remove cover; stir in the cream. Continuing heating, but do not boil, stirring constantly until sauce begins to thicken.
4. Serve immediately while scallops are hot. Spoon excess sauce from pan and drizzle it over the scallops.
