Tips:
For best results, use large, plump scallops.
If you don’t have fresh herbs, you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme and parsley.
You can also add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce for a bit of heat.
Serve the scallops with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a side salad for a complete meal.
