Steps:
- 1. Put 4 tablespoons butter in non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When foam subsides, add scallops; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brown on both sides, adjusting heat so they brown nicely; they need not cook through. Remove them to a plate.
- 2. Turn off heat, cool pan a bit and wipe out. Add remaining butter over medium heat. When it melts, add shallots, garlic, chili flakes and a little more salt and pepper. Cook about 2 minutes, or until shallots soften.
- 3. Add wine, raise heat a bit, and let bubble away for a minute or so until reduced by about half; add cream and repeat. When liquid is thick, return scallops and juices to pan.
- 4. Cook for about a minute, stirring in half the basil, until scallops are just firm. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- 5. Arrange 4 to 5 scallops on individual serving plates, and spoon a bit of the pan sauce over each scallop serving. Garnish with remaining basil, and serve immediately.
