Ingredients

Method

Directions

1

Prepare the scallops

Rinse the diver scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps to remove any sand or grit.

2

Sear the scallops

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the scallops in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until they develop a golden crust. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until cooked through.

3

Add flavor

Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Then add the butter and lemon juice, allowing it to melt and combine with the scallops.

4

Season and garnish

Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Remove from heat, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
