Scallops and Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 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. 2

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 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. 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. 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.
