Seared Scallops with Lemon
Ingredients
  • 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
Instructions
1
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and warm olive oil within it. Introduce the shallot, stirring constantly until it reaches a light brown hue, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Next, add lemon juice and cook until it has fully evaporated, utilizing a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the skillet and bring out any browned residue, lasting around 3 minutes.
2
Following this, position scallops 1/2 inch apart in the skillet. Allow them to cook until they develop a browned bottom, roughly 1 minute. Flip the scallops and continue cooking until their second side is deeply browned, taking about 1 minute more.
3
Transfer the scallops to a serving plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Finally, garnish the dish with parsley.
