1
Marinate the Scallops
In a large bowl, combine the chopped cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
2
Add Scallops
Add the scallops to the marinade and gently toss until they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let the scallops marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
4
Cook the Scallops
Remove the scallops from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the scallops in the hot skillet in a single layer, cooking for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and opaque.
5
Serve
Once cooked, remove the scallops from the skillet and arrange them on a serving plate. Garnish with additional cilantro leaves and lime wedges. Serve immediately.
