Answers:
I just use a little oil or butter spray and cook them in the pan with a little salt and pepper or sometimes I use pepper and a little soy sauce!. They don't need a lot of seasoning on them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
This is how I do it!. Scallops are so easy and fast!
PAN-SEARED SCALLOPS
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds sea scallops
1/4 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat!. Dredge the scallops in breadcrumbs!. Add scallops to the pan, cook 4 minutes!. Turn scallops and cook 3 minutes or until done!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

There are several recipes on Epicurious!.com!. After cooking scallops many times, I have learned to place them on a paper towel to let them drain a bit before searing (be sure to flip them over, too)!. If not, you end up with a foaming mess and the scallops develop a strange texture!. If you have your heat right, they do not take long! Good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com
I like them lightly salted and fried in a little butter for a couple of minutes each side, or until they are a milky white, and have a Lite mayonnaise with it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
