Tips:

  1. Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you save time and avoid scrambling while you're cooking.
  2. Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh scallops are essential for this recipe. If you can't find fresh scallops, you can use frozen scallops, but make sure they are thawed before cooking.
  3. Season the Scallops: Before cooking the scallops, season them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will help them develop a delicious flavor.
  4. Cook the Scallops Over High Heat: Scallops should be cooked over high heat so that they sear quickly and retain their tenderness. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the scallops will not cook evenly.
  5. Do Not Overcook the Scallops: Scallops are very delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook them for just a few minutes per side, or until they are opaque and slightly browned.
  6. Serve Immediately: Scallops are best served immediately after cooking. You can garnish them with chopped parsley or green onions.
