Title: Simplest Bay Scallops
Categories: Seafood
Yield: 4 Servings
20 Bay scallops
Coarse salt
Lemon wedges
Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes.
Add the scallops; do not crowd. Cook without stirring until they
brown lightly on one side, about 2 minutes. Turn, and brown the
other side.
Remove from the heat, and sprinkle lightly with salt. Serve with
lemon wedges.
* M's note:
4 teenytiny appetizer or 2 doll-sized main-course servings.
I'd go with 6-8 oz of scallops rather than 20 bays - bays
can weigh in as little as 1 - 2 grams each.
Per serving: 25 calories, 0 g fat, 12 mg cholesterol,
330 mg sodium, 5 g protein, 0 g carbs *
* M's second note:
Can't beat that calorie count, though.
