Very simple preparation that preserves the delicate, sweet flavor of the scallops. I didn't have Romano on hand, so I used Parmigiano-Reggiano and just grated it directly over the scallops in the skillet.
Ingredients:
1 lb sea scallops
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs (approximately)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 lemon
freshly grated romano cheese
Directions:
1. Roll scallops in bread crumbs.
2. Put olive oil and butter in a large skillet; stir and heat until hot.
3. Add scallops, turning once, until browned on both sides (3-4 minutes); remove from heat.
4. Halve lemon and gently squeeze juice over scallops, then sprinkle with cheese.
5. Cover with a lid and let steep for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to mingle.
