Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Scallops

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

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

  3. 3

    Sear the Scallops

    Add the scallops to the skillet in a single layer. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until cooked through.

  4. 4

    Add Garlic and Butter

    Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and butter to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Finish with Lemon and Parsley

    Remove the skillet from heat. Add lemon juice and chopped parsley, then toss everything together to combine.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the scallops and drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over them. Enjoy immediately.
