Second Course >> Scallops with Basil

Scallops with Basil. Delicious scallops are sauteed with extra-virgin olive oil and garlic, and flavored with fresh basil leaves. The flour cover and the lemon juice will develop a mouth watering sauce where you can dip your bread. Use smaller softer Bay Scallops and they will be sweeter tasting and simply scrumptious.
