Sauteed Scallops

A very simple recipe for how delicious it is! Just crush the garlic with the side of a chef's knife blade instead of chopping it, and using whole sprigs of rosemary allows them to be easily removed before serving.

Notes

I tried this new recipe of scallops but modified it to be over rice instead of pasta to make it less carb and less calories.  It was absolutely delicious and I will definitely make it again. It was a small portion which is perfect for me as the only person in the household the majority of the time and it was so quick to prepare.
I hope you enjoy it.
