Lemon Pepper Bay Scallops

B-Walk's Note:

Fresh and tangy, perfect with some roasted red potatoes and steamed broccoli. Also very good tossed into a Caesar salad, or folded into pasta and vegetables. This is another one of my college-kid attempts at cooking something that doesn't come from box, and it turned out well!

Made this just as stated ... it was "okay" but neither my husband nor I were crazy about the taste.

This was simple and delicious! Didn't have olive oil, so I used butter. Will make again!
