Operation Cook Every Night.. Night 2

So Monday night I made Lemon- Shallot Scallops.. By this day I was still very excited about cooking and was feeling good that I was making low calorie meals.. Not only were we saving tons of money on eating out each meal I have planed for this week are all under 300 calories...
This Scallop dish is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! We had our friend Monica over for dinner and she loved it as well.. This one is for sure a keeper I might even try the same recipe with shrimp..


 Lemon-Shallot Scallops
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds Sea Scallops
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons butter
3 tablespoons minced shallots
1/2 teaspoon bottled minced garlic
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
lemon wedges (optional)

1. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle sea scallops with salt and pepper. Add scallops to pan, and sauté 2 mins on each side. Remove scallops from pan, and keep warm.

2. Melt butter in pan. Add shallots and garlic, sauté 30 seconds. Add wine and lemon juice, cook one min. Return Scallops to pan; toss to coat Remove from heat; sprinkle with parsley. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired on a bed of mixed greens...






Wine Suggestion: a nice Chardonnay for your choice
