How to Make Scallops Provencale

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over high heat. Once hot (but not smoking), sear scallops in a single layer for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  2. Transfer the seared scallops to a small platter, cover loosely to keep warm.
  3. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet and cook over medium heat for 1 minute, or until fragrant and pale golden.
  4. Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves, and cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
  5. Season the tomato mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Spoon the tomato-thyme sauce generously over and around the warm scallops.
  7. Garnish with 1/4 cup of fresh basil leaves and serve immediately. Enjoy with your favorite pasta!
