Pan Seared Scallops

Ingredients:

• 1 lb sea scallops
• 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs (approximately)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 lemon
• Freshly grated romano cheese

Directions:

1. Roll scallops in bread crumbs.
2. Put olive oil and butter in a large skillet; stir and heat until hot (med. high heat.)
3. Add scallops, turning once, until browned on both sides (3-4 minutes); remove from heat.
4. Halve lemon and gently squeeze juice over scallops, then sprinkle with cheese.
5. Cover with a lid and let steep for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to mingle.

**I served these with roasted red potatoes and steamed fresh veggies.
