- 1/4 cup half-and-half

- Pat scallops dry with a paper towel; lightly coat scallops with cooking spray. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add one-third of scallops; sear 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Remove scallops from pan. Repeat procedure twice with remaining scallops.
- While scallops cook, heat olive oil in a large saucepan coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add leek and garlic; saute 4 minutes or until tender. Add wine and next 5 ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes. Add scallops, and simmer 3 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in half-and-half.
