    Ingredients

    • 1 pound scallops
    • 1 tablespoon butter
    • Salt and black pepper to taste
    • For the Lemon Butter Sauce
    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
    • 1 lemon, juiced
    • Salt and black pepper to taste
    • 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley

    Method

    • To prepare, rinse the scallops thoroughly then pat dry with paper towels.
    • Melt the butter over low heat in your favourite skillet. Add the scallops, season them with salt and pepper and allow to sear for about 1 minute. Flip them over to the other side and allow to cook for another 2-3 minutes.
    • Now, prepare the sauce. Melt the butter in the skillet over low heat. Add the minced garlic and whisk together. Don't let the garlic burn or it will take on a bitter taste.
    • From here, raise the heat to medium, add the lemon juice and bring the sauce to a simmer.
    • Add the chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper.
    • Now, serve the scallops in a bowl and place it on your plate. Spoon some of the hot sauce over the scallops and serve immediately.
    • Serving Suggestions: Serve with lemon pieces and a simple baked potato.
