Ingredients

1 Tbsp Butter
16 Oz Scallops
1 Dash Salt
1 Dash Pepper
2 Tbsp Butter
2 Cloves, minced Garlic
1 Lemon yields Lemon Juice

Directions

Remove the small side muscle from the scallops, rinse with cold water and thoroughly pat dry.

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Season scallops with salt and pepper, to taste.

Working in batches, add scallops to the skillet in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until golden brown and translucent in the center, about 1-2 minutes per side.

Set aside and keep warm.

To make the lemon butter sauce, melt 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet.

Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in lemon juice; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Serve scallops immediately with lemon butter sauce.

Enjoy!
