Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Scallops

    Pat the sea scallops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Scallops

    Add the scallops to the skillet in a single layer. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the scallops from the skillet and place them on a serving platter. Drizzle with your choice of sauce (marinara, fra diavlo, or scampi) and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
