Scallop Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Scallops

    Rinse the sea 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 it shimmers.

  3. 3

    Sear the Scallops

    Add the scallops to the skillet in a single layer. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and opaque in the center. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

  4. 4

    Add Garlic and Lemon Juice

    In the last minute of cooking, add the minced garlic to the skillet and stir gently. Then, add the lemon juice and cook for another 30 seconds.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the scallops from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate. Drizzle with the pan juices, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
