Ingredients
1 ½ pounds sea scallops
3 ripe plum tomatoes, about ½ pound
2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
⅓ cup finely chopped shallots or scallions
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
¼ teaspoon Tabasco sauce
4 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
Preparation
- Step 1
Cut in half each scallop crosswise if too large. Set them aside.
- Step 2
Drop the tomatoes into boiling water for 12 seconds to loosen the skin. Remove the skins and halve them to remove the seeds. Cut the tomatoes into small cubes.
- Step 3
Melt the butter in a large non-stick skillet over high heat. Add the scallops, salt and pepper. Saute the scallops, shaking the skillet and stirring so that they cook evenly, about 4 minutes.
- Step 4
Add the shallots, tomatoes, lemon juice, Tabasco and cook and stir over high heat for 2 minutes. Sprinkle the coriander over all and serve immediately.

I looked up "fresh coriander" and turns out it is cilantro, of which I am not a fan. What other herb might I substitute ?
