Preparation

1. Bring 2 tablespoons of water to a boil in a small nonreactive saucepan, lower the heat and whisk in the butter a little at a time until the mixture becomes saucy.
2. Add the scallions, then lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm over very low heat while cooking the scallops.
3. Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the scallops; do not crowd. Cook without stirring until they brown lightly on one side, about 2 minutes. Turn and brown the other side.
4. Serve the scallops drizzled with a little of the sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds.
