Preparation

Step 1

Remove the tensor muscle from the scallops, rinse with cold water and thoroughly pat dry.

Heat the butter and oil over medium-high heat in a large saute pan until just smoking. Season the scallops and gently add them to the pan, making sure they are not touching each other. Sear the scallops for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. The scallops should have a 1/4-inch golden crust on each side while still being translucent in the center. Serve immediately.
