Favorite Scallops

This is my favorite way to prepare scallops. Recipe adapted from bon appetit ( october, 1981).

Melt butter in skillet over medium heat.

Stir in garlic , tarragon and oregano.

Add scallops and season with paprika , salt and pepper.

Squeeze lemon juice over scallops and saute for 5 minutes or until scallops turn opaque.

Increase heat to medium-high and add sherry cooking until there is almost no liquid in pan.

Transfer to serving dish.

Sprinkle with paprika , parsley and lemon slices.
