Method
Garlic Oil

Prepare Garlic Oil
In a small saucepan, combine olive oil and peeled garlic cloves. Heat over low heat for about 15 minutes, allowing the garlic to infuse the oil without browning. Remove from heat and let it cool. Strain the oil to remove the garlic and set aside.

Sear the Scallops
Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet, heat the prepared garlic oil over medium-high heat. Add butter and let it melt. Once the butter is sizzling, add the scallops in a single layer. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and opaque in the center. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
