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
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3
Cook the Scallops
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the scallops to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and opaque in the center.
4
Add the Butter and Lemon Juice
Reduce heat to medium, add butter and lemon juice to the skillet. Stir gently until the butter melts and coats the scallops.
5
Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the scallops and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
