Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Thaw frozen scallops in cold water if needed, remove the side muscle if attached, and pat them very dry with paper towels.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat until hot and sizzling.
  3. Add the scallops in a single layer, working in batches if needed. Season with salt and pepper and fry for 2 to 3 minutes, flip, and fry for about 2 more minutes until crisp and cooked through.
  4. Transfer the scallops to a plate.
  5. In the same pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, scraping up the browned bits. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Pour in the wine and simmer for about 2 minutes, until reduced by about half.
  7. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter and the lemon juice.
  8. Take the pan off the heat, return the scallops to warm through slightly, and garnish with parsley.
