I found this recipe in a magazine over 10 years ago. Since that day, I have served this dish to many scallop lovers - not one has been disappointed yet. Key is NOT to overcook the scallops. They cook VERY quickly. I like very flavorful dishes - usually double this sauce and serve the dish with couscous.
Ingredients:
1 lb fresh scallops
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
8 cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup dry vermouth
3 tablespoons fresh basil or 1 tablespoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. Pat scallops dry.
2. In skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter and oil until very hot.
3. Add scallops; saute quickly until cooked.
4. (Probably no more than 3 minutes per side.) Remove scallops and keep warm.
5. Add tomatoes to skillet and add remaining ingredients.
6. Increase heat to high and cook quickly to thicken sauce.
