really easy and yummy dinner!

i got this from rachael ray's magazine, and we made it last night.. its really good, and easy too- especially if you have a garden where you grow a lot of herbs ( like us!)
theres no link because they don't post recipes from current issues but, basically

grape tomatoes
fresh herbs- whatever you have/want to use
garlic
5-6 sea scallops per person
1 tb butter

cut the grape tomatoes in half and put them in bowl

chop of 1-2 cloves of fresh garlic and put with tomatoes

chop up a bunch of fresh herbs ( whatever you want- we used all stuff we have growing in our garden: sage, rosemary,basil, oregano,mint, lemon balm, cilantro, thyme)

let this sit for about an hour to marinate/develop the flavors

put scallops on skewers and grill for about 4 minutes per side

put scallops in the bowl with the tomatoes/herbs, and add the butter

stir until butter is melted and serve

it came out sooo good with all the flavor from the herbs- a great, light summer meal! the scallops are expensive, but we realized you could probably use some of the frozen shrimp in a bag that goes on sale a lot.

that does sound yumy! and scallops are a nice treat!!!

I tried something similar with salmon a few weeks ago, so I think it would go great with any seafood!!

That sounds like it would be great with a cold pesto pasta salad on the side.

I'm going to have to try this & the basil in my yard is ready to start picking!
