SCALLOPS-HARBORSIDE STYLE

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Place rack 4 to 5 inches from heat source.
• If you are using large sea scallops, slice horizontally through center.
• Add sherry to the melted butter. Put 2 tablespoons of the butter/sherry mixture in shallow baking pan and arrange scallops in single layer.
• Combine crumbs and seasonings and sprinkle over the scallops. Drizzle remaining butter/sherry mixture over the scallops.
• Broil about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Serve hot with lemon wedges.
• Serves 3 or 4 as a main course, 6 to 8 as an appetizer.

BUTTERY SCALLOPS WITH LEMON AND HERBS

Steps:

• Season scallops lightly on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large, preferably nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add 3 tablespoons butter and let melt. Place seasoned scallops in the pan in a single layer without touching. (Do this in batches if necessary, using another tablespoon of butter if needed for the second batch.) Cook without moving until bottoms are golden brown, 3 minutes.
• Flip the scallops and add another tablespoon of butter to the pan. Stir in garlic and thyme, and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute longer.
• If you took any of the scallops out of the pan to cook them in batches, put them back in now. Pour lemon juice on top of all the scallops, sprinkle with the lemon zest, and toss everything gently to combine.
• Transfer scallops to serving plates and sprinkle red-pepper flakes on top. Garnish with chopped soft herbs and lemon wedges, and serve immediately.
