This was delicious with a few tweaks. I have made this a number of times. Use much less olive oil. Use more garlic.

I halved the amount of scallops (1 lb.) but kept the other ingredients the same. Use nice fresh plum tomatoes. I used 5 romas, but would increase it to 6 depending on the season/juiciness/ripeness. I use dry white wine as I do not keep vermouth on hand. Delicious!
