2 tablespoon olive oil

Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce: 

2 tablespoon butter 

2 cloves garlic, minced 

1/4 cup dry white wine 

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 

2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley 

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Before searing, firmly pat the scallops dry using paper towel to absorb all the moisture. Season with salt and pepper. 
  • In a large sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over high heat until sizzling. When the pan is heated, add the scallops, spacing them apart and cooking them until golden brown on one side, about 2 minutes. 
  • Using tongs, flip the scallops over. Continue cooking for another two minutes or until the scallop is firm. Scallops should be perfectly golden brown on all sides. Do not overcook.
  • Take the scallops out of the sauté pan and transfer them to a platter. 
  • Lemon Garlic Butter: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same pan. Stir in the garlic and simmer for a few seconds. Pour in the wine then add the 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and simmer for 2 minutes, spoon the sauce over scallops
  • Transfer scallops with the sauce into a plate and garnish with chopped parsley. 

Bon Appetit!
