Scallops and Seasoning

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparation

    Pat the diver scallops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

  2. 2

    Searing

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Carefully place the scallops in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

  3. 3

    Cooking Time

    Sear the scallops for about 2-3 minutes on one side until a golden brown crust forms. Do not move them during this time.

  4. 4

    Flipping

    Gently flip the scallops using tongs and add the unsalted butter to the pan. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, basting the scallops with the melted butter.

  5. 5

    Serving

    Once cooked, remove the scallops from the skillet and serve immediately, drizzled with the browned butter from the pan.
