Tips:

  • To ensure the best flavor, purchase fresh sea scallops that are firm to the touch and free of any off odors.
  • Before cooking, pat the scallops dry with a paper towel to prevent splattering. Season them liberally with salt and pepper.
  • Sear the scallops in hot oil or butter for a few minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and opaque throughout.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when searing the scallops, as this will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • When pan-searing scallops, be sure to use a non-stick skillet or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet to prevent sticking.
  • For a more flavorful dish, try marinating the scallops in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs before cooking.
  • Scallops can also be cooked in the oven, broiled, or grilled. Just be sure to cook them until they are opaque throughout.
  • Serve scallops immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice, pasta, or vegetables.
