1 Tbsp mustard seeds

1/8 tsp black pepper

2 cups tomatoes, chopped

1 pound scallops

1 (16 ounce) box of angel hair pasta

1/4 cup low sodium, fat free chicken broth In a large saucepan over medium heat, saute mustard seeds. Stir, moving seeds around to avoid burning the seeds.

Add garlic and continue to stir and cook a few more minutes until garlic is tender. Add tomatoes and chicken broth, simmer for 5 minutes. Rinse and pat scallops dry with a paper towel. Add scallops to sauce and increase heat to medium, cooking scallops for about 5 minutes in the sauce.
