How to Make Bay Scallops Scampi

  1. Melt butter (and olive oil, if using) in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. 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.
  4. Pour in white wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.
  6. Stir in lemon juice and fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or enjoy as is. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
