Brush remaining olive oil over the bottom of a heavy skillet. Saut‚ the shallots and garlic until they begin to color, then add scallops, liquor and lemon juice. Heat until the scallops begin to look opaque. Add cayenne, oregano, and tomatoes, stirring to blend. Continue cooking until the scallops are white and tender.
