Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Core and peel tomatoes. Halve them crosswise. Squeeze the halves gently to extract seeds; cut halves into ¼-inch cubes.

  2. Step 2

    In a nonstick skillet large enough to hold scallops in one layer, heat oil and butter over high heat. When hot add scallops, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring and shaking the pan and turning scallops, until lightly brown, about 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Sprinkle shallots, thyme and tomatoes evenly over scallops. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add lemon juice and cook, stirring, for another minute. Sprinkle with parsley, stir well and serve immediately. Do not overcook the scallops.
