Ensure your scallops are very dry before searing/broiling to achieve a beautiful crust. Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the sauce. If necessary, use a larger skillet. For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of heavy cream to the sauce at the end, but this is optional. Serve immediately over pasta or polenta.
