I like to chop a few cloves of garlic, sautee the garlic with extra virgin olive oil and 2 tbsp of butter/each 1/2 lb of scallops. When the garlic is lightly browned add about 1/2 C of dry white wine. Add the scallops and cook until they are transluent (4-5 minutes) on a medium-high heat. Put fresh parsley on top. I made this on Monday night. My roommate and boyfriend really liked it.
I really enjoy them on top of lentils, spaghetti squash or mixed in with either baked or sauteed veggies.
Enjoy!0 -
I was going to pop in and say the Sonoma Diet Pan Seared Scallops but now I see that you're looking for the bay scallops, not the larger ones. I've always eaten the bay scallops either in a casserole or as the previous poster mentioned with pasta.
This recipe looks good:

Pan-Seared Scallops with Lemon Vinaigrette
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
12 ounces fresh or frozen sea scallops
1 lemon
1 pound fresh asparagus spears, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 medium red onion, cut into thin wedges
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper (optional)
2 or 3 fresh basil sprigs
DIRECTIONS
1. Thaw scallops, if frozen. Rinse scallops; pat dry with paper towels. Set scallops aside.
2. Score lemon into 4 lengthwise sections with a sharp knife; remove peel from lemon. Scrape off white portion from peel; discard. Cut peel into very thin strips; set aside. Squeeze 2 tablespoons juice from lemon; set juice aside.
3. In a large skillet cook asparagus and red onion in 1 tablespoon of the oil for 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Season to taste with kosher salt and pepper. Transfer asparagus mixture to a serving platter; keep warm.
4. In the same skillet combine reserved lemon peel, the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and the basil sprigs. Cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until heated through. Remove lemon peel and basil sprigs with a slotted spoon, reserving oil in skillet. Discard lemon peel and basil sprigs.
5. If desired, season scallops with kosher salt and pepper. Cook scallops in the hot flavored oil for 3 to 5 minutes or until scallops are opaque, turning once. Stir in reserved lemon juice. Serve scallops with asparagus mixture.
