Cooking Scallops

Cooked a bunch of seafood for dinner last night, and finally mastered the scallop. I've cooked these many times before, but was never able to really get them right. First to know on cooking scallops is don't over cook them, seriously only about 2 min a side. Next is don't use too much butter or oil, you just need enough to prevent them from sticking not enough to baste them. Finally, and what I was missing was don't use a non-stick pan. Use something that will get a little char going, and create the perfectly browned scallop. They can also be wrapped in bacon and broiled, that's perfectly acceptable too. Also had a king crab leg and baby lobster tail to go with it.
