My local grocery store had a one-day seafood sale and I picked up 4 lbs of huge scallops. So, last night I made this dish and got to use some of my fresh tomatoes and herbs from my garden. It was delicious!

Scallops Provencal

2T olive oil
1t minced garlic
2t fresh thyme, chopped
1T fresh basic, chopped
1 lb large sea scallops
2 medium-sized Roma tomatoes, diced (I used a bunch of grape tomatoes, cut in half)

In skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic, thyme, basil, and scallops. Saute scallops for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and just cooked through.

Stir in tomatoes, salt, and freshly ground pepper and saute for an additional minute.

This recipe stated that it served 4, but I made it into 2 servings because I was looking for a lot of protein. I also cut back on the EVOO a bit to save on calories.

Enjoy!
