Ingredients
8 large scallops, washed1/2 tsp olive oil (EVOO)1 cup mushrooms, sliced1/4 cup red onion, diced1/2 tsp garlic, crushed & fine chopSpray Pam4 tbs Marsala cooking wine3 TBS cream or half and halfSalt to tasteFresh basil, chopped
Directions
Recipe makes two servings or 4 scallops each.

Scallops should to be seared first to seal in the juices and keep them tender. No rubber scallops!

Place EVOO in non stick pan on high heat to get it very hot. Sear scallops about 1 minute each side. Remove from pan and cover to keep warm. (use Pam to save on a few calories, but be careful not to smoke yourself out!)

Turn heat to medium and add mushrooms, onion and garlic (plus a little spray Pam if you like). Sautee for 3-4 minutes.

Add marsala wine and let simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Stirring occasionally.

Add cream and let simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Stirring occasionally.

Reduce heat to low and add scallops back in for a maximum of 5 minutes so as not to over cook them.

If you like the sauce a little thicker, add just a tiny touch of Wonder flour...maybe a 1/4 tsp before adding the scallops.

Garnish with chopped fresh basil.

Serve over pasta with a lovely salad and you have a fabulous meal (not included in nutritional info).

     Very good. I didn't know what silk creamer was. I used half and half - 5/4/09

    Silk creamer is a soy version of half & half.
    Thanks for leaving a comment!

     I used 2 T cream instead of the silk creamer. I'm not a real scallops fan, so I made this with my husband in mind. It was SO good! The sauce is absolutely wonderful!! Now I can't wait to try it with beef or chicken. - 4/15/11

     These were the best scallops I have ever made...or eaten for that matter! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe! - 1/3/11

     This goes together so fast that it's best to get the pasta cooking first before cooking the scallops and sauce. And wow, was this a hit! No leftovers tonight! Definitely a keeper. - 7/15/13

     Easy due to the explicit instructions, I followed the timing exactly and they were the best scallops i ever cooked! Will be making these again soon. - 6/15/13

     The local grocery didn't have plain creamer so I used heavy cream for a thick sauce... everything came out perfect! Next time I will add more than 1c mushrooms. - 11/4/11

     Very Good! I think I'll take your advice and add a little bit of a thickening agent in the future. I might also try a spicier version as well. :-) - 2/16/11

     Excellent, I did not have 1/2 & 1/2 or silk and it was too foggy to go to the store. I used milk and cooked a couple of minutes loger. - 1/1/11

     We absolutely loved this entre! Our grocery store didn't have the silk creamer, so we used cream instead. I want to try it next time with the silk creamer that I hopefully can find in a nearby town. - 6/6/10

  • MJLUVSANIMALS
     This was delish!!!!! I will most certainly make it again. I used the little bay scallops, so I threw a bunch in, lol they are really low calorie. - 6/11/09
  • MAMMS456
     Wow! These were delicious....and different! I actually did not put in some of the ingredients and no cream, just garlic and marsala wine due to some picky eaters and we loved it! Will definitely make again! - 3/29/09

  • DOCBLUE
     Liked it but could be a little spicer...not sure what to add, but will think about it. The searing advice was important. I served it with a spinach/lemon cous cous, they paired well! - 8/7/13
