1
Clean the Scallops
Rinse the fresh scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
2
Season the Scallops
In a bowl, combine sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the scallops.

3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
4
Cook the Scallops
Add the scallops to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they are golden brown, then flip and add butter to the pan. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the scallops are opaque and firm to the touch.

5
Plate the Scallops
Transfer the cooked scallops to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
