Sea Scallops from Billy's Seafood

[Michael Craig]

The wife and I host my mother's birthday dinner every year in the middle of January. We order seafood from Billy's Seafood near Gulf Shores Al. I made appetizers of the scallops with bacon wrapped shrimp as on entree. The scallops were gone by the time I finished cooking the shrimp. I think the birthday girl consumed most of them. Here's the receipe-

1 # sea scallops, cut in half

enough olive oil to saute
chopped green onions
clove of minced garlic
parsley
saute onions,garlic, and parsley for about 5 minutes on 600 F oven

add scallops and lightly brown on both sides

add to the pan: 1/2 cup chicken broth
splash of dry vermouth
splash of sweeth vermout
red pepper flakes
lemon juice

cook uncovered until liquids reduce down to pourable sauce
place scallops on serving dish and pour over sauce
I served this with toasted bagget slices with garlic and butter
(didn't get any of this either)
