1
Prepare the Ingredients
Start by patting the sea scallops dry with a paper towel. This will help achieve a nice sear when cooking.
2
Wrap Scallops
Take one slice of speck and wrap it around each scallop. Make sure the scallop is fully covered. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
3
Prepare the Garlic and Thyme
Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh thyme leaves. Set aside.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
5
Cook the Scallops
Place the wrapped scallops in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the speck is crispy and the scallops are opaque.
6
Add Garlic and Thyme
In the last minute of cooking, add the minced garlic and chopped thyme to the skillet. Sauté briefly until fragrant.
7
Season and Serve
Remove the scallops from the skillet and place them on a serving platter. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.
