Ingredients
- olive oil
- butter
- Jumbo scallops
Preparation
Step 1
1. Make sure the scallops are very dry. I like to set them on a paper towel and blot the tops to get them dry.
2. I coat a heavy skillet with olive oil and get it nice and hot, medium-high heat.
3. Place the scallops in the skillet and let them cook 4 minutes, resist the urge to mess with them, just let that lovely crust develop, then flip and cook another 4 minutes.
4. Presto! Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice and a small sliver of salted butter on each scallop, season with salt and pepper.
