Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Put 4 tablespoons of the butter in skillet over med-high heat;
  2. When foam subsides, add scallops; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  3. Brown on both sides, adjusting heat so they brown nicely; they don't need to cook through. Remove them to a plate.
  4. Turn off heat, cool pan a bit and wipe out. Add remaining butter over med. heat. When it melts, add shallots, garlic, red chili flakes and a little more salt and pepper. Cook about 2 min, or until shallots soften.
  5. Add wine, raise heat a bit, a let bubble away for a minute or so until reduced by about half; add cream and repeat.
  6. When liquid is thick, return scallops and juices to pan.
  7. Cook for about a minute, stirring in half of the basil, until scallops are just firm.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning, transfer to small bowls or plates with a bit of sauce, and garnish with remaining basil.
