    The only thing I would change is the amount of butter---you could use 1 tbs and 3 tbs olive oil---that would be a lot less cal and fat then butter---

    I tried this recipe for the first time over the summer. Its really easy and the combination of the capers and the wine give it a gourmet flair. It is just as good with fresh scallops or clams. I usually serve it with some kind of leafy greens like a chard with olive oil, garlic and pinion nuts. Love it.
