Sea Scallops

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Scallops

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

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 3

    Sear the Scallops

    Add the scallops to the skillet in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and opaque in the center.

  4. 4

    Add Garlic and Lemon Juice

    Reduce the heat to medium, then add the minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Pour in the lemon juice.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the scallops with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
