Seared Scallops with Garlic Basil Butter
By yummly.com

Seared scallops cook quickly — within 5 minutes — and are best when enjoyed straight-away. If you’re serving them with pasta vegetables or rice make sure they are ready before cooking the scallops. Basil adds a lovely sweetness to the butter sauce but if it is not available a few fresh thyme sprigs will do the trick.
