For a richer flavor, try using sea scallops instead of bay scallops, just be sure to adjust the cooking time. A splash of dry white wine in the sauce adds another layer of complexity. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried basil, but fresh is definitely preferred. Add a squeeze of lemon juice at the end for brightness.
