Ingredients
- 1 pound scallops thawed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 5 cloves minced garlic
- 1/4 cup white wine (can substitute chicken broth)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Pat the scallops dry with a clean towel or paper towel. Ensure they are completely thawed, if previously frozen. Season the scallops evenly with salt and black pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the scallops in a single layer. Cook for about 2 minutes on one side without moving them, until a golden crust forms. Flip the scallops and cook for another 2 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove the scallops from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Add the white wine (or chicken broth) and simmer for 2–3 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly. Stir in the lemon juice and cook for 30 seconds.
- Pour the sauce over the cooked scallops. Serve immediately.
