You may have come to associate scallops with decadent meals that pack on the pounds. But, in reality, these mollusks are loaded with protein, magnesium and potassium, so avoiding them could be a mistake. They don't need to be in a creamy sauce over pasta. Simply saute or pan-sear them in a light lemon and white wine sauce, serve with brown rice and a salad, and you have a simple meal that's a nutritional powerhouse.
