Buttery Scallops With Lemon and Herbs Recipe

"Simple and very speedy, this dish shows off the sweetness and delicacy of fresh sea scallops, seasoned with only lemon, garlic, herbs and a sprinkle of red-pepper flakes A little butter gives it a touch of richness, while the grated lemon zest adds brightness and a jolt of acid You can serve this with a big green salad for a light meal, or over buttered noodles or mashed potatoes for something more substantial...."
