Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 sweet red peppers, cored, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup sliced zucchini, cut into 1/8-inch slices
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 1/4 pounds sea scallops; if too large, cut them in slices
