Pan-Seared Scallops with Cilantro-Celery Mayonnaise
1/4 C. low-fat mayonnaise
2 T. minced celery
2 tsp. minced fresh cilantro
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. olive oil
Cooking spray
1 1/2 lb. sea scallops
1/4 C. Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
4 lime wedges
Combine first 5 ingredients. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Dredge the scallops in breadcrumbs. Add scallops to pan, and cook 4 minutes. Turn scallops, and cook 3 minutes or until done. Serve with mayonnaise mixture and lime wedges. Scallops cook quickly. When done, they should feel soft and resilient to the touch. They should also flake easily when tested with a fork and appear moist inside.
