The Realtor's Sauteed Scallops With Lemon-Mustard Sauce image

I serve these delicious little gems on top of big crusty slices of garlic bread... YUM! It's supposed to serve 4 as a main dish but my DH and I finish this off ourselves. As an appetizer, it will serve 8. If you like my idea for serving, be sure to pick up a big loaf of Italian bread to make the garlic bread (it's not in the ingredient list). I found this in a magazine some time ago.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb sea scallops, patted dry
