- Melt 1/4 cup (57g) butter in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper and 1/2 cup chopped onion. Sauté for 3 minutes.
- Add 8 oz (227g) sliced mushrooms and cook for another 3 minutes.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons (28g) butter, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper.

- Return to medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth, stirring frequently (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat. Gently stir in 1 pound (454g) sea scallops (cut into smaller pieces if large) and 1/4 cup dry white wine.
- Spoon the mixture into buttered scallop shells or small (about 1 cup) buttered baking dishes.
