Preparation

Step 1

melt two tablespoons of butter in a pan, adding the garlic, salt, paprika, and pepper.
Saute the scallops over medium-high heat until they just started to pick up some color (about four minutes), stirring them so they didn’t overcook. Keeping them warm on a heated plate, add the parsley, lemon juice and the final pat of butter to the pan, mixing until it was heated through, to use as a sauce.
