1
Clean the Scallops
Rinse the scallops under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
2
Season the Scallops
In a bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the scallops.

3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and bubbly.
4
Sear the Scallops
Add the scallops to the skillet in a single layer, making sure they are not crowded. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and opaque in the center.

5
Plating
Remove the scallops from the skillet and place them on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
