1) In a large skillet, cook 1 lb scallops seasoned with salt and pepper in 1 1/2 tbsp of butter over moderately high heat for 1 minute, stirring. 2) Cover the skillet and cook the scallops, stirring occasionally, for 2 min more, or until they are opaque and just firm. With a slotted spoon transfer the scallops to a large plate and cover to keep them warm. 3) Add 1/2 c minced shallots to the skillet stirring for 1 min.
