1
Prepare the scallops
Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the scallops with black pepper.
2
Heat the pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3
Sear the scallops
Add the scallops to the skillet in a single layer. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and opaque in the center.
4
Add flavor
Add minced garlic to the pan and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant. Then pour in the soy sauce and stir to coat the scallops.
5
Garnish and serve
Remove from heat, chop the green onions, and sprinkle over the scallops. Serve immediately.
