3-Minute Scallops

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb bay scallops or sea scallops
• 1 TBS low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 medium cloves garlic
• 1 TBS extra virgin olive oil
• 1 TBS fresh lemon juice
• sea salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Press or finely chop garlic and let sit for 5 minutes to enhance its health-promoting benefits.
2. Heat 1 TBS broth over medium heat in a stainless steel skillet.
3. When broth begins to steam, add scallops and garlic and sauté for 2 minutes stirring frequently. After 2 minutes, turn scallops over and let cook on the other side for 1 minute. Scallops cook very quickly so watch your cooking time. Overcooked scallops become tough. (If you are using larger sea scallops, you'll need to cook for 1-2 minutes longer.)
4. Dress with extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper.
