Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Scallops

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

  2. 2

    Make the Pistachio Coating

    In a shallow bowl, combine the chopped pistachios, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a paste.

  3. 3

    Coat the Scallops

    Press each seasoned scallop into the pistachio mixture until well-coated on both sides.

  4. 4

    Cook the Scallops

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated scallops and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the scallops from the skillet and place them on a serving plate. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
