Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparation

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

  2. 2

    Searing the Scallops

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the scallops to the skillet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Sear the scallops for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and opaque in the center.

  3. 3

    Adding Flavor

    Reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, spooning the melted butter over the scallops to enhance the flavor.

  4. 4

    Finishing Touches

    Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the scallops. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top before serving.
