1
Prepare the Scallops
Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3
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 each side until they develop a golden crust and are opaque in the center.
4
Serve
Remove the scallops from the skillet and place them on a plate over wild mushroom risotto.
