Scallops Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Scallops

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

2. 2

   Brown the Butter

   In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes.

3. 3

   Cook the Scallops

   Add the seasoned scallops to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and opaque. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

4. 4

   Add Capers and Lemon

   Once the scallops are cooked, add the capers, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the pan. Toss gently to combine and heat through for another minute.

5. 5

   Serve

   Transfer the scallops to a serving plate, drizzle with the brown butter sauce, and serve immediately.
