Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Scallops

    Pat the sea scallops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  3. 3

    Cook the Scallops

    Add the scallops to the skillet in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and opaque in the center.

  4. 4

    Add Butter and Lemon Juice

    Once the scallops are cooked, add the butter and lemon juice to the skillet. Swirl the pan to melt the butter and coat the scallops.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the skillet from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
