Categories     dinner, easy, quick, appetizer

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds (2 pints) bay scallops
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup finely chopped sweet green pepper
1/2 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1/4 cup drained capers
1/2 cup fine fresh bread crumbs
1/4 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup finely chopped sweet red pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler to high.
  • Sprinkle the scallops with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet and add the scallops. Cook over very high heat, stirring, about 2 minutes. Transfer the scallops to a baking dish that will hold the scallops compactly in one layer. Set aside briefly.
  • To the skillet add two tablespoons of the butter. When it is melted and hot, add the chopped red and green peppers and the garlic. Cook, stirring, until wilted, about 1 minute.
  • Add the capers. Stir. Add the bread crumbs and wine. Heat thoroughly. Spoon the mixture over the scallops.
  • Dot the top with the remaining two tablespoons butter and place under the broiler. Let cook about 4 minutes.

This dish is a bit too spicy for my taste. I'll have to reduce the amount of chili flakes next time.

I'm not a fan of capers, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish was still very good.
