Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Scallops

Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

2. Heat the Pan

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

3. Sear the Scallops

Add the scallops to the pan in a single layer and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

4. Add Butter and Garlic

In the last minute of cooking, add the butter and minced garlic to the pan. Baste the scallops with the melted butter.

5. Finish with Parsley and Lemon

Remove the scallops from the heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and squeeze fresh lemon juice over them before serving.
