Garlic Lemon Butter Seared Scallops

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 lb sea scallops, side muscle removed
• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1–2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley or other herbs
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Preparation:

1. Begin by patting the scallops dry with paper towels, ensuring they are pristine before cooking.
2. In a large sauté pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter until sizzling.
3. Carefully add the scallops to the pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded, and sear for 1 1/2 – 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Cook in batches if necessary.
4. Once cooked, transfer the scallops to a plate and wipe out the skillet.
5. Lower the heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, approximately 1 minute.
6. Pour in the fresh lemon juice and return the scallops to the pan, allowing them to warm through for 1-2 minutes, while turning them to coat evenly in the lemon butter.
7. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and season with salt and pepper to taste before serving immediately.
