Garlic Lemon Scallops
Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 3 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 pounds large sea scallops
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
1
Heat a substantial pan over an intermediate temperature on your stovetop. Melt the butter within this pan, stirring occasionally until it reaches a liquid state.
2
Introduce minced garlic into the melted butter and cook for just enough time to release its aroma, usually a matter of seconds.
3
Arrange the scallops in a single layer on the surface of the pan, cooking them until their one side is golden brown, approximately 2 minutes. Utilize your tongs to flip the scallops over and continue cooking until they become firm and opaque, roughly 2 minutes more. Transfer the cooked scallops to a serving platter, reserving the remaining butter in the pan.
4
Combine lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl to create a dressing. Whisk this mixture into the reserved butter until well combined, then pour it over the scallops to complete your dish.
