How to Make Bay Scallops Scampi
- Melt butter (and olive oil, if using) in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add bay scallops to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are opaque and lightly browned. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
- Pour in white wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.
- Stir in lemon juice and fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or enjoy as is. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
