  • Finally, serve with a bunch of scallops on top!

  • First, pat dry scallops with paper towel. 
  • Next, salt and pepper both sides. 
  • Now, in preheated medium high pan with 3 tablespoons of oil place scallops in pan. 
  • NOTE: do not have scallops touch (or will steam instead of sear). Spread them out and work in batches if pan is small.
