1
Prepare the Scallops
Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper.
2
Melt the Butter
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until melted.
3
Sauté Garlic
Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
4
Cook the Scallops
Add the scallops to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and opaque.
5
Add Lemon Juice and Parsley
Remove the scallops from the skillet and set aside. Add lemon juice and chopped parsley to the skillet, along with the remaining butter. Stir well.
6
Serve
Return the scallops to the skillet, toss in the sauce, and serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
