Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Scallops

Pat the scallops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve a nice sear.

2

Season the Scallops

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

3

Heat the Oil

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

4

Sear the Scallops

Add the scallops to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and opaque in the center. Remove scallops from skillet and set aside.

5

Make the Sauce

In the same skillet, lower the heat and add butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in lemon juice.

6

Combine and Serve

Return the scallops to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. Cook for an additional minute to heat through. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
