"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Coat the scallops on 1 side with the spice mixture. Place in the hot skillet, spice side down and cook for 2 minutes. Gently turn the scallops with a spatula or tongs and cook on the other side for about 2 more minutes, until browned and just cooked through. Cooking time will vary with the size of the scallops. (Do not over cook as they will not be soft and tender).
To serve, divide the scallops into 4 portions and top each portion with 2 T of the dressing.
