Tips:

  • Choose high-quality scallops. Fresh, dry scallops with a firm texture and a slightly briny smell are the best choice for this recipe.
  • Sear the scallops properly. Searing the scallops in a hot pan with a little oil will help to develop a nice crust and prevent them from becoming rubbery.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the scallops will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the scallops for a short time. Scallops cook very quickly, so it is important not to overcook them. Otherwise, they will become tough and chewy.
  • Use fresh snap peas. Fresh snap peas are sweeter and more tender than frozen snap peas.
  • Add the snap peas to the pan at the end of cooking. This will help them to retain their鮮脆的 texture.
  • Season the dish to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.

Conclusion:

This recipe for scallops and snap peas is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is also elegant enough for a special occasion. The scallops are seared to perfection and paired with fresh, crisp snap peas. The dish is finished with a simple lemon butter sauce that brings all of the flavors together.
