1
Prepare the scallops
Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they are well dried to achieve a nice sear.
2
Mince the garlic
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
3
Chop the parsley
Rinse the fresh parsley, shake off excess water, and chop it finely.

4
Heat the pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
5
Sear the scallops
Add the scallops to the skillet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on one side until they are golden brown. Flip the scallops carefully using tongs.
6
Add butter and garlic
Once flipped, add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, basting the scallops with the melted butter and garlic.
7
Add lemon juice and season
Drizzle lemon juice over the scallops and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for another minute.
8
Garnish and serve
Remove the skillet from heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
