Method

Preparation Steps

Prepare the Scallops

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

Heat the Oil

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

Sear the Scallops

Add the scallops to the skillet in a single layer. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and opaque in color. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Make the Sauce

In the same skillet, add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley.

Combine and Serve

Return the scallops to the skillet, tossing them gently in the sauce. Cook for an additional minute to heat through. Serve immediately.
