1 pound sea scallops, rinsed and patted dry
1 teaspoons salt

3 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, pushed through a press
2 green onions (white part only), chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1. Sprinkle scallops with salt and cayenne. Heat butter in a
large skillet over medium-high heat until it bubbles and
begins to brown. Add garlic and green onions; cook,
stirring, 1 minute.
2. Add scallops, thyme, and lemon peel to skillet. Saute
scallops 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly colored and
cooked through. Drizzle with lemon juice and serve

Do not crowd the pan when cooking the scallops, or they will
release too much liquid, and steam instead of saute. Cook in
batches if necessary.
