Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 lbs sea scallops
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 medium leeks , quartered lengthwise and rinsed (white and light green parts)
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges (optional)
  • 2 tbsp pesto sauce (optional)

Directions:

  1. Rinse the scallops and pat them dry with paper towels. Season them with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper.
