1
Prepare the Marinade
In a medium bowl, combine chopped cilantro, olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.
2
Marinate the Scallops
Add the scallops to the marinade and gently toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

3
Cook the Scallops
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated scallops to the skillet, discarding any remaining marinade. Cook the scallops for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and opaque in the center.
4
Serve
Transfer the cooked scallops to a serving plate. Garnish with extra cilantro and lime wedges. Serve immediately.
