Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Scallops

    Rinse the sea scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Season the Scallops

    In a bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and lemon zest. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the scallops on both sides.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

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

  2. 4

    Sear the Scallops

    Add the scallops to the hot skillet in a single layer. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on one side until they develop a golden crust.

  3. 5

    Flip and Add Butter

    Flip the scallops carefully using tongs. Add butter to the skillet and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the scallops are opaque and cooked through.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Scallops

    Remove the scallops from the skillet and place them on a serving plate.

  2. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle fresh parsley over the scallops and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
