Ingredients

1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 1/2 tsp garlic (about 2 cloves)

1/2 cup white wine

2 cups vegetable broth (can use chicken instead)

2 tbsp lime juice

1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

1 pound of sea scallops (I buy mine frozen)

salt & pepper to taste

Directions

In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil and cook the garlic until golden. Add in the wine and cook for a few minutes until it reduces in volume slightly. Add the broth and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, add in the lime juice, cilantro, and the salt and pepper (I use about 1/4 tsp salt & 1/2 tsp pepper, included in the nutrition calculations) but adjust to your taste.
***
Meanwhile, cook the scallops using nonstick spray with a dash of salt and pepper.
***
Divide the scallops among two bowls and pour the broth over them. Great over rice or pasta, or on its own as a soup.
