Flaming Scallops Recipe

Scallop Cooking

1. 1

   Pat the U10 scallops dry with a paper towel to ensure a good sear.

2. 2

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

3. 3

   Season the scallops with salt and black pepper on both sides.

4. 4

   Carefully place the scallops in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on one side until a golden crust forms.

5. 5

   Flip the scallops and add a few slices of the herbed butter to the skillet, letting it melt and infuse the scallops.

6. 6

   If using, pour in the dry white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the scallops are opaque and cooked through.

7. 7

   Remove the scallops from the skillet and serve immediately with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and additional herbed butter if desired.
