Garlic Scallops

Buttery, garlicky, and perfectly golden, Garlic Scallops take only 15 minutes. A quick sear gives crisp edges and tender flesh, ideal for a light and satisfying meal.

📝 Ingredients

• salt and pepper (– to taste)
• 1 tbsp parsley (– chopped)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Rinse the scallops with cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
2. 2Heat up a skillet on medium to high heat. Add the olive oil and butter.
3. 3Sauté the garlic for a few seconds.
4. 4Add the scallops and pan-sear them for about one and a half minutes per side (cooking time may vary depending on the size of your scallops; aim for a golden crust with a slightly translucent centre). Season with salt and remove from the heat.
