How to Make Ina's Scallops Provencal

  1. Pat the scallops dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the scallops from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the white wine and lemon juice and bring to a simmer.
  4. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, basil, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Return the scallops to the skillet and toss gently to coat in the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until heated through.
  6. Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or crusty bread. Garnish with extra parsley and a lemon wedge, if desired.
