WW GARLICKY LEMON SCALLOPS 4-POINTS
From the Weight Watchers cookbook called "Cook it Quick" Make sure to pat the scallops dry before you mix them with the flour and salt. That way they won't soak up too much flour. You can substitute smaller Scallops just make sure you adjust the cooking time. You don't want to overcook them or they will become tough and rubbery. I like to serve this with recipe #272832.

Tips:

- Cook the scallops properly. Scallops are best cooked quickly over high heat. This will help to prevent them from becoming tough and rubbery.
- Use fresh, flavorful ingredients. The quality of your ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Use fresh herbs, garlic, and lemon to brighten up the flavors.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking scallops, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to ensure that they are juicy and tender.
