Time 21m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small shallot, minced
1 lemon, juiced
12 sea scallops
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot; cook and stir until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in lemon juice and cook until evaporated, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits, about 3 minutes.
  • Place scallops 1/2 inch apart in the skillet. Cook until browned on the bottom, about 1 minute. Flip and continue cooking until the second side is deeply browned, about 1 minute more.
  • Transfer scallops to a serving plate; season with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my scallops were tough and chewy.

Scallops were a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some herbs or spices next time.

Really easy to make and the scallops were cooked perfectly. I used wild-caught scallops and they were delicious!

I'm not a big fan of scallops, but these were surprisingly good! The searing gave them a nice crispy texture.

The scallops were a bit overcooked, but the flavor was still good.

Seared the scallops for a bit longer than the recipe suggested and they were still tender and juicy. Served over a bed of arugula with a squeeze of lemon, they were delicious!

Seared the scallops in garlic butter, just as the recipe directed. They turned out browned and crispy on the edges, tender and juicy on the inside. Served with lemon wedges and parsley, they were a hit!
