From Woman's Day. Quick and easy, nice with pasta or rice. Use your own pesto or refrigerated pesto sauce from the market. I think this would also make a nice first-course,

1 1/2 lbs sea scallops, patted dry
1/3 cup pesto sauce
2 tablespoons heavy cream or whipping cream

Was unable to find sea scallops so used medium size shrimp. It made a great appetizer, however we felt they were lacking something, so sprinkled on grated Parmesan. Next time will saute with garlic or maybe a shallot and add the cheese with the cream. Thanks for sharing.

This was very good! I made it as written but added 1 tsp of minced garlic. It was so quick and easy to do but tasted like I did something fancy. Thanks duonyte! Made for 123 tag.

I used bay scallops, because that is what I could find fresh today. Therefore, I only cooked them about 2 minutes instead of 4 minutes. This is a wonderful appetizer, but I think it would also be great served over angel hair pasta as a main dish with a salad. Thanks so much for posting this simple and delicious recipe. Made for Newest Zaar Tag!
