Ingredients
-
1 tbsp reduced-calorie margarine
3 small garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup champagne
1 1/2 pounds sea scallops
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp dill or basil
4 lemon wedges
Directions
Melt the margarine in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the garlic and cook until just golden, about 2 minutes.
Pour in the champagne and cook until warm, 1 minute.
Add the scallops and cook until just opaque throughout, about 3 minutes per side, sprinkling each side with the salt and pepper during cooking.
Transfer to a platter or plates and spoon some of the cooking liquid over the top. Sprinkle with basil or dill and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.
These taste fabulous over angel hair pasta (you'll need 2 cups cooked, which is about 4 oz dry).
To moisten and flavor the pasta, toss it with the cooking liquid from the scallops.

Based on other comments and how I usually cook scallops, I would cook the scallops in the garlic and butter. Then add the champagne or wine once the scallops have been removed to make the sauce. That way the scallops will brown and get crispy, but you can still have the wine sauce to add to the top. - 10/10/08
