Equipment
- Large skillet
- Tongs & Spatula
- Measuring spoons
- Cutting Board & Chef’s Knife
- Serving Plate
Ingredients
- 1 lb 450g frontier scallops
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel to ensure they sear well. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the unsalted butter to the skillet. Once the butter has melted and is sizzling, add the scallops in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
- Sear the scallops for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust.
- Do not move them while they are searing to allow a good crust to form. Once seared, remove the scallops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic to the remaining butter. Sauté for about 1 minute, or until the garlic becomes fragrant but not burnt.
- Add the lemon juice to the skillet and stir, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes to slightly reduce.
- Return the scallops to the skillet, tossing them gently in the lemon-garlic butter sauce.
- Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the scallops. Serve immediately, with any remaining sauce drizzled over the top.
