Ingredients

  • 6 ounces bay scallops
  • 3 tablespoons white wine or chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons butter

Directions

  1. In a small skillet, combine the scallops, wine, butter and onion. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1-2 minutes or until scallops are firm and opaque. Using a slotted spoon, remove scallops and keep warm.
