1
Prepare the Water
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 tsp of salt to the boiling water.
2
Add Scallops
Once the water is boiling, gently add 1 pound of sea scallops to the pot. Reduce heat to medium-high and let them cook for about 3-4 minutes.
3
Check for Doneness
Scallops are done when they become opaque and firm to the touch. Do not overcook them.
4
Drain and Season
Carefully drain the scallops and transfer them to a serving bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Toss gently.
5
Garnish
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and add black pepper to taste before serving.
