- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make all the difference in the final dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When searing the scallops, make sure to give them enough space so they can cook evenly.
- Sear the scallops over high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Don't overcook the scallops. They should be cooked through but still slightly translucent in the center.
- Season the scallops simply. Salt and pepper are all you need to bring out their natural flavor.
- Serve the scallops immediately. They are best enjoyed hot out of the pan.
