Main Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Scallops

    Remove the side muscle from the scallops if it's still attached, and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  3. 3

    Sear Scallops

    Add the scallops to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Sear for 2-3 minutes on one side until a golden crust forms, then flip and add butter and garlic.

  4. 4

    Finish Cooking

    Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, basting the scallops with the melted butter. Remove from heat.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the scallops, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
