1
Prepare the Scallops
Rinse the wild scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving a good sear.
2
Season the Scallops
In a bowl, season the scallops with salt and black pepper. Make sure they are evenly coated.
3
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers but does not smoke.
4
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn.
5
Cook the Scallops
Add the seasoned scallops to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and opaque in the center.
6
Add Butter and Lemon Juice
Once the scallops are cooked, add the butter and lemon juice to the skillet. Swirl the pan to coat the scallops in the sauce.
7
Finish with Parsley
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. This adds freshness and color.
8
Serve
Transfer the scallops to a serving plate, drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the top, and serve immediately.
