How to Make Scallops With Zucchini

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until slightly softened.
  2. Remove zucchini from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add scallops to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and opaque throughout. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
  4. Return zucchini to the skillet.
  5. Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and green onions. Cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  6. Stir in the diced tomatoes (undrained). Bring to a simmer.
  7. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1 minute, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.
  8. Gently stir in the cooked scallops and zucchini. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.
  9. Remove from heat and sprinkle generously with Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
