Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the scallops

Rinse the scallops under cold running water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper on both sides.

2

Heat the oil

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

3

Sear the scallops

Add the scallops to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until cooked through. Remove the scallops from the skillet and set aside.

4

Make the sauce

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the butter and lemon juice, stirring well to combine and melt the butter.

5

Combine and serve

Return the scallops to the skillet, tossing them gently in the sauce. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
