Preparation
- Preheat the broiler to high.
- Sprinkle the scallops with salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet and add the scallops. Cook over very high heat, stirring, about 2 minutes. Transfer the scallops to a baking dish that will hold the scallops compactly in one layer. Set aside briefly.
- To the skillet add two tablespoons of the butter. When it is melted and hot, add the chopped red and green peppers and the garlic. Cook, stirring, until wilted, about 1 minute.
- Add the capers. Stir. Add the bread crumbs and wine. Heat thoroughly. Spoon the mixture over the scallops.
- Dot the top with the remaining two tablespoons butter and place under the broiler. Let cook about 4 minutes.
