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
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
3
Cook the Scallops
Add the scallops to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and opaque in the center.
4
Add Garlic and Lemon
In the last minute of cooking, add minced garlic and lemon juice to the skillet. Toss gently to coat the scallops.
5
Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Serve immediately.
