1
Preparing the Scallops
Start by rinsing the scallops under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels. This will help them sear properly.
2
Marinating the Scallops
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes. Add the scallops to the bowl and gently toss to coat them in the marinade. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.
3
Cooking the Scallops
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the butter. When the butter has melted and is bubbling, carefully add the scallops to the skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan; you may need to cook in batches.
4
Searing the Scallops
Sear the scallops for about 2-3 minutes on one side until they develop a golden crust. Flip them over and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are opaque and cooked through.
5
Serving the Dish
Once cooked, remove the scallops from the skillet and place them on a serving plate. Drizzle with any remaining pan juices, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
