Easy Seared Scallops in Garlic Butter Sauce

You can easily make seared scallops that taste like a restaurant right at home. They take little effort and they’re done in only a few minutes. The key is to make sure your pan is nice and hot, and not to mess with them while they’re cooking.

• 1.5 lbs scallops

• 3 tbs butter, divided

• 1/2 tbs olive oil

• juice from 1/2 a lemon

• 4 garlic cloves

• 1/4 cup white wine or vegetable broth

• Salt and pepper

• In a skillet, heat 1 tbs butter and 1/2 tbs olive oil over high heat

• Remove the mussel and pat your scallops dry

• Season with salt and pepper

• Once your skillet is hot, add the scallops and cook for 2 minutes. The scallops should gently sizzle when you put them in the pan. Make sure not to overcrowd them!

• Once a golden crust has formed, flip the scallops over and cook for another 1-2 minutes

• Remove scallops and add 2 tbs butter to the pan. Let it melt and scrape up the brown bits.

• Add the garlic, lemon juice and wine/broth

• Cook for 2 minutes and serve over the scallops
