Scallops!

Summer is the perfect time for light suppers - seafood and salad is pretty much all I want for dinner as the months get hotter.  When I saw these lovely medium sized scallops at my local grocer last night, I couldn't resist.  

Scallops are a delicate meat and easily overcook if you don't watch them, but these guys turned out great.  I seasoned them lightly and seared them off in a bit of olive oil (about 60-90 seconds on each side).  Then I finished them with some butter and fresh lemon juice and wrapped some prosciutto around them to serve alongside my crisp apple walnut salad.  

A tasty treat for about $5 a person + the cost of the salad ingredients, you can't go wrong!
