By Diana Rattray, About.com

Serve this light seafood sauce with baked or broiled fish, or use to moisten a seafood stuffing.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons dry sherry
  • 1/2 pound bay scallops or cut-up sea scallops
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 3 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup nonfat evaporated milk

Preparation:

Heat oil in medium skillet; saute scallops and mushrooms, sprinkling with the sherry as they cook. When scallops are cooked through, set aside.
