Well, I don't know how you have been cooking them, but here are a couple of really quick and easy ideas.

Heat some olive oil in a saute pan, add some minced or crushed garlic, a little pepper and what ever other herb you have you may like (parsley is always nice, a touch of thyme) saute the scallops over medium high heat until translucent.

You can also skewer them and let them marinate a bit in garlic, herbs and a little olive oil. Grill and enjoy.

You could put them in a cream sauce, a modified version of Coquilles St. Jacques, but I'm guessing that goes a little beyond quick and easy!

Throw it in with some sausage or kilbasa and shrimp for jambalaya. (not as hard as it soiunds) Just get a seasoning packet form the market. And they soak up the flavor and become very tender not so chewy.

Scallops with Thyme and Lemon

Do not crowd the pan when cooking the scallops, or they will release too much liquid, and steam instead of saute. Cook in batches if necessary.

1 pound sea scallops, rinsed and patted dry
1 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, pushed through a press
2 green onions (white part only), chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel

1. Sprinkle scallops with salt and cayenne. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it bubbles and begins to brown. Add garlic and green onions; cook, stirring, 1 minute.
2. Add scallops, thyme, and lemon peel to skillet. Saute scallops 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly colored and cooked through. Drizzle with lemon juice and serve immediately.
