Scallops are quite delicate and care must be taken not to overcook them.
If you're using frozen scallops, thaw them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-3 days.

If time is short, you can unpackage the frozen scallops and place them in a colander. Immerse the colander in COLD water. Gently stir occasionally during thawing to separate scallops.

NEVER thaw seafood, fish, or meats on the kitchen counter!
