1
Prepare the Scallops
Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3
Sear the Scallops
Add the scallops to the skillet in a single layer. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the scallops from the skillet and set aside.
4
Make the Sauce
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the butter and lemon juice, stirring to combine.
5
Combine and Serve
Return the scallops to the skillet and gently toss to coat them in the sauce. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
