Main Ingredients

Seasoning and Cooking

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Scallops

    Rinse the sea scallops under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Finely mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

  3. 3

    Chop the Parsley

    Rinse the fresh parsley, dry it, and chop it finely.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Olive Oil

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

  2. 5

    Sauté the Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.

  3. 6

    Cook the Scallops

    Add the cleaned scallops to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and opaque in the center.

  4. 7

    Season the Scallops

    During the last minute of cooking, add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, and toss to coat the scallops in the seasoning.

  5. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the scallops from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
