Easy Fried Scallops image

I experimented with some ways to cook scallops one night with my family. This was everyone's favorite and it has become a regular dish at our family fry nights. If serving as a main dish, make twice as many servings as people (about 8 scallops per person).

The scallops were a bit overcooked. I will cook them for less time next time.

These scallops were a bit bland. I think I will add more seasoning next time.
