Tossed this together for dinner Sunday night : 1/2 - 3/4 pound fresh sea scallops which was marinated for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator, using an off the shelf liquid scampi seasoning (olive oil, garlic, etc), to which was added about 1 teaspoon of dried basil, and 2 pinches of cayenne. . while that was brewing, took some strawberries and quartered them. Had some fresh cayenne peppers that I diced . After marinating suitably, poured off some of the liquid into a non-stick pan, using medium heat, and added the cayennes. After a minute or two, then added the scallops and the rest of the liquid, and covered the pan. cooked for about 4-5 minutes, then turned the scallops for another minute or so. I then removed the pan from the burner, and added the strawberries, and recovered for about 2-3 minutes. then served. Great taste of the cayenne against the strawberries, plus the garlic from the scampi seasoning. Bernie noo yawk siddy
