SCALLOPS PICCATA 
2 sm. lemons
1 lb. bay or sea scallops
1 tbsp. butter
1/4 c. chicken broth
1/4 dry white wine
1/2 tsp. salt
Chopped parsley

About 20 minutes before serving:

Squeeze juice from 1 lemon; set aside. Thinly slice the other lemon for use as garnish.

Rinse scallops with running cold water to remove sand from crevices. Pat dry with paper towels. (If using sea scallops, cut each horizontally in half.)

In 10-inch skillet over medium heat, in hot butter, cook scallops, stirring frequently, until opaque, about 5 minutes. With slotted spoon, remove scallops to warm serving platter. To skillet, add chicken broth, wine, salt, 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, and reserved lemon juice; over high heat, heat to boiling. Cook until mixture is reduced by half; spoon over scallops. Garnish with lemon slices and some chopped parsley.
