1
Prepare the Scallops
Rinse the jumbo sea scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they are completely dry for a good sear.
2
Season the Scallops
Sprinkle the scallops with salt and black pepper on both sides, ensuring they are evenly coated.

3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1-2 minutes.
4
Sear the Scallops
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the scallops in the pan. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on one side without moving them until they develop a golden crust.
5
Flip the Scallops
Using tongs, gently flip the scallops over and add the butter and garlic to the pan. Cook for another 2-3 minutes while spooning the melted butter over the scallops.
6
Add Lemon and Parsley
Once cooked through, remove the scallops from the pan and drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish.
