Scallops with Basil

Scallops have been used in many dishes in many countries, because of the taste and texture of meat...

However, I always loved the kind that have more sauces which is made of wine...

1/2 cup of Merlot
2 pinches of basil
2-3 cloves of garlic
5-6 of scallops
2 tablespoon of Olive oil
1 pinch of salts
1 pinch of pepper
1 cube of butter

Heat up the pan with a bit of olive oil
Put some salt and pepper around the scallops
Pan shear the scallops
Put it aside
Put in the butter
Put in the garlic and brown it.
Put in the basil leaves
Then put in the merlot and reduce it to a quarter.
Put in some tomatoes if you like it...
Then put the sauce on the scallops.
