Title: Scallops W/ Basil in Lemon Sauce
Categories: Seafood
Yield: 1 Servings

1 1/2	tb	Butter
1/2		Garlic clove, crushed
1/2	lb	Scallops
1	tb	Basil, fresh
1	tb	Lemon juice

Melt butter in heavy skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until softened. Do not brown. Rinse scallops and dry well. Add scallops and basil and saute over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, for two minutes. Add lemon juice and continue cooking, stirring constantly, 2-3 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Sylvia's comments: I used more garlic (hi, GQ!) and added some wine I'd been marinating the scallops in, then thickened the sauce with a little cornstarch. Wish I hadn't; it overpowered the scallops. Next time I'll stick with the recipe.
