Ingredients
  • 1 pound scallops

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon pesto
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Heat a tablespoon of butter in a skillet over a moderate heat setting and add the scallops. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Add a spoonful of pesto and some capers to the skillet; mix everything together until it's well combined. Stir in a generous amount of heavy cream and watch as the mixture comes to a rolling boil. Remove the skillet from the heat source and serve the scallops hot
