I have never made scallops before, or if I did it was unsuccessful. Costco had some large ones on sale so I decided to give it a try again. My sister advised making sure they are dried off before sauteing. If they are frozen you can thaw them in cold water for 20 minutes. It is quite easy, you saute 2 minutes per side in butter.
2 cloves garlic minced
package of frozen scallops, thawed
pinch of salt
1/2 tsp pepper
squeeze of lemon juice
2 tbs butter (can add some olive oil too)
dried parsley or your favourite herb
Melt butter and optional olive oil in a pan, when the pan is nice and hot, add garlic and scallops. Ensure the scallops are spread out and not touching. Saute for 2 minutes, flip on the other side for another 2 minutes. Remove from the pan and mix in the lemon juice and parsley. It is great with rice or pasta.
