Nutrients in scallops (and an easy cooking idea)

Sea scallops are a great depression-fighting food. They are loaded with vitamin B-12 (a vitamin for depression), zinc, magnesium, and iron. In the book Rebuild from Depression, I list scallops as a “depression buster food.”
I buy my scallops at Trader Joe’s and always look for their giant scallops. They are amazingly tender if you don’t overcook them. (Watch them carefully as they cook and pull them off the heat when they begin to flake apart.)
Whenever I cook scallops, I keep it simple: I cook them in garlic butter and serve them over rice. I noticed that Diane at Simply Real Food took a bit of a twist last month and fried them in bacon grease and added some greens at the end (Diane’s fried scallops). I will be trying that with my next scallop purchase.
Isn’t it great that such tasty food is loaded with nutrients?
