Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ripe plum tomatoes, about 1 pound
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 pounds medium-size sea scallops
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
2 sprigs fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Core and peel tomatoes. Halve them crosswise. Squeeze the halves gently to extract seeds; cut halves into 1/4-inch cubes.
  • In a nonstick skillet large enough to hold scallops in one layer, heat oil and butter over high heat. When hot add scallops, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring and shaking the pan and turning scallops, until lightly brown, about 2 minutes.
  • Sprinkle shallots, thyme and tomatoes evenly over scallops. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add lemon juice and cook, stirring, for another minute. Sprinkle with parsley, stir well and serve immediately. Do not overcook the scallops.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would add more salt and pepper to the scallops and sauce next time.

The sauce was a bit too oily for my taste, but the scallops were cooked perfectly. I would make this dish again, but I would use less oil in the sauce.

This is my new favorite scallop recipe! The shallots and tomatoes add so much flavor to the dish. I will definitely be making this again and again.

The scallops were a bit overcooked for my taste, but the sauce was amazing. I would definitely make this dish again, but I would cook the scallops for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was absolutely delicious! The scallops were cooked perfectly and the tomato and shallot butter sauce was divine. I served it over rice and it was the perfect meal.
