Sea Scallops

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Scallops

    Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps ensure they sear properly.

  2. 2

    Season the Scallops

    In a bowl, combine the salt and black pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the scallops.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it's hot but not smoking.

  2. 4

    Sear the Scallops

    Place the scallops in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Sear the scallops for about 2-3 minutes on one side until they develop a golden crust.

  3. 5

    Flip the Scallops

    Using tongs, carefully flip the scallops and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until cooked through and opaque.

  4. 6

    Add Garlic and Lemon Juice

    Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, pour in the lemon juice and give the scallops a gentle toss.

  5. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the scallops from the heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
