1/2 cup diced red bell pepper |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
2 cups canned low-salt chicken broth |

1/4 cup whipping cream |
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper |
10 ounces sea scallops, halved horizontally |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add bell pepper and onion and sauté until almost tender, about 3 minutes. Add broth, spinach, cream and crushed red pepper.
