Scallops with Lemon and Dill
Recipe
- 1 ½ pounds scallops
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ⅔ cup dry vermouth
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon lemon peel, finely grated
- ¼ cup fresh dill, chopped
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
In a large skillet melt the butter over medium heat. Add scallops and stir until almost opaque, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove scallops from the skillet. Add vermouth, lemon juice, and lemon peel to the skillet and boil until reduced to a thick glaze, about 5 minutes.
Return scallops to the skillet and stir until thoroughly heated. Add dill and pepper and stir gently.

DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know that scallops can swim? They can avoid predation by quickly clapping their shells together and will often outswim a predator such as a sea star.
