Preparation
- Step 1
Spray the scallops lightly with oil. Heat a large, heavy-bottomed nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the scallops and sear until browned on both sides. Add the mushrooms and saute until cooked. Use a slotted spoon to put on a plate.

IMHO it works best (to prevent overcooking the scallops) to cook the mushrooms first, keep warm, scallops second (3 mins per side) keep warm with mushrooms. Make wine reduction then return scallops and mushrooms to the pan. Simple and tasty!
Tried this with amaretto instead of wine, but added it directly to the mushrooms, then cooked the scallops and combined. Loved it!
Herbs de Provence works great as a sub for thyme
