Steps:
- In a large saute pan, heat 1/4 cup oil and cook garlic and shallot until translucent, about 2 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the wine, and add parsley, basil and thyme and let the liquid reduce by half. Using a fine strainer, strain the reduction into a clean saucepan and add the cream. Over low heat, let the sauce reduce to medium thickness. To the now empty saute pan, add 2 tablespoons olive oil, saute scallops, cook until opaque and remove to a utility platter in a warm place. Then use the same pan to saute shrimp just until pink, and remove to the utility platter. Add cream sauce to saute pan to toss the drained pasta or rice with the cream sauce and seafood, reserving a few scallops and shrimp for the top. Transfer to a serving dish, and sprinkle with cheese, as garnish. Arrange shrimp and scallops on top and garnish with basil sprigs.

PAN-SEARED LEMON AND GARLIC SCALLOPS
Scallops have a reputation for being hard to cook correctly, but this recipe is really fast, easy, and oh so tasty. The key is high heat for the sear, a good nonstick pan, and clarified butter. Pairs well with risotto.

SCALLOPS IN GARLIC CREAM SAUCE
I didn't really get this recipe from anyone, it's just (for as long as I can remember) one of the basic ways that I have always prepared scallops. It's easy, quick to prepare and the sauce really complements the scallops. I've prepared this with and without the wine (on those rare occasions when I happened to be out of my favorite white wine), and it is just as delicious either way. That's why I listed that ingredient as optional.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a pan over medium-low heat; add the garlic, parsley, scallions (or green onions), wine, salt and pepper. Cover; simmer 10 minutes.
- Add the scallops; simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Remove cover; stir in the cream. Continuing heating, but do not boil, stirring constantly until sauce begins to thicken.
- Serve immediately while scallops are hot. Spoon excess sauce from pan and drizzle it over the scallops.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality scallops: Opt for fresh, dry scallops with a plump, firm texture and a sweet, briny smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have an off odor.
- Pat the scallops dry before cooking: This will help them sear properly and prevent them from steaming.
- Season the scallops simply: Salt and pepper are all you need to bring out the natural flavor of the scallops. You can also add a pinch of garlic powder or paprika for extra flavor.
- Sear the scallops over high heat: This will create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the scallops will steam instead of sear.
- Cook the scallops for a short time: Scallops cook quickly, so don't overcook them. They should be cooked through but still have a slightly translucent center.
- Make the spicy garlic sauce while the scallops are cooking: This will allow the flavors to meld and intensify.
- Serve the scallops immediately with the spicy garlic sauce: Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro for a pop of color and freshness.
Conclusion:
Scallops with spicy garlic sauce is a quick, easy, and delicious seafood dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The scallops are tender and juicy, with a slightly crispy exterior, and the spicy garlic sauce is flavorful and addictive. Serve the scallops with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
