I used bay scallops as that's all there was, but the recipe calls for
either.

Scallops in Basil Cream Sauce:

4 Tbs. butter
3/4 c. minced onion
2-3 cloves minced garlic
2 lb. bay scallops or 1 lb. sea scallops
1/2 c. dry white wine
4 Tbs. finely chopped fresh basil leaves or 2 tsp. dried basil
1/2 c. heavy cream or half & half
salt & pepper to taste

Heat butter in a medium sized skillet; add minced onion and garlic.
Saute until tender. Raise the heat slightly and add the scallops.
Saute about 2 minutes. Add wine and continue cooking 2 more minutes.
Remove scallops and set aside. Stir in chopped basil leaves and the
cream or half & half. Increase the heat slightly to thicken and reduce
the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat;
add scallops to the sauce and stir to heat through. Remove to a bowl
and keep warm.

Me tooting my own horn... that's one I re-created after having it in a
restaurant one night. Art Pieroni's restaurant shut down back in the 1980's
but that was one of the dishes I had there, long time ago.

I like bay scallops best, better consistency! Very nice, thank you!
I will make it as soon as I can get some really fresh scallops.

That sounds good -- I wonder if one could use shrimp instead. I'm
not a scallop fan...

I suspect that scallops are one of those things (like lobster) that
I would probably love if I'd ever had them cooked properly. That's
why I like asparagus now -- I was used to the slimy canned stuff but
once I'd had it roasted and sauteed, I was in love.

My only experience with lobster was as Red Lobster (nuff said) and
I've had scallops, once, at a local Mexican place. They were served
with mushrooms, peppers, and beef slices in a creamy garlic sauce.
They were distinctly fishy...

Then I suspect they were fake or spoiled. I detect no fishiness at all
in scallops.

I guess...it'll be different...I think part of the appeal was the juice
from the scallops....

It might be strange Pandora. Even the lightest of meat is not like a
sweet fish. Scallops are cappesante and to me there is nothing really
like them at all.

Hell, I'd settle for scallops nekkid. They are really hard to find
here. I once pre-ordered them at a fish mongers and the following WEEK
(it takes that long) I got red clams.
