I love scallops. We made this dish earlier in the week. It makes a regular weekday dinner seem extra special. On Marco Island we get all our seafood from Paradise Seafood. They have yet to disappoint. We will be sorry when we go home and do not have a local fish store. John seared the scallops. He had to use a bit more fat than usual because we don’t have any good non-stick pans at the rental house. I was in charge of steaming the potatoes and the green beans. I also made a tartar sauce with a little bit of light mayonnaise, some non-fat plain yogurt, relish and capers. The dinner was wonderful. Even though scallops are expensive, for less than $20 for everything for the two of us, we had a dinner that would have cost upwards of $60 at a restaurant. (And the wine is much cheaper at home too!)
