Simple Seared Scallops image

Pan seared scallops with balsamic white wine sauce. As is from Cooking Light September 2002. I usually add either a touch of thyme or some penzey's mural of flavor at the end to liven up the sauce.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The scallops were not cooked evenly and the lemon butter sauce was too thin.

The lemon butter sauce was too lemony for my taste. I would recommend using less lemon juice.

I used frozen scallops for this recipe, and they turned out just as good as fresh scallops.

I'm allergic to butter, so I substituted olive oil in the lemon butter sauce. It worked great!

The lemon butter sauce is the perfect complement to the scallops. It's light and flavorful, without overpowering the delicate taste of the seafood.

These scallops were cooked to perfection! They were juicy and tender on the inside, with a perfectly browned exterior. The lemon butter sauce was also delicious and complemented the scallops perfectly.
