1
Prepare the Scallops
Rinse the sea scallops under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
2
Sauté Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
3
Cook the Scallops
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the seasoned scallops to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and opaque in the center.
4
Add Lemon Juice
Once the scallops are cooked, remove the skillet from heat and drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Toss in chopped parsley for added flavor.
5
Serve
Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
