I'm usually afraid of cooking scallops because I never know when they're done so I always over cook. them. So this time I used a grill pan and and cooked them for about 3 minutes on each side and they turned out great. I skipped the skewers to save some time. I served this with grilled squash and Asian sesame noodles.
