How to Make Lemon Sauteed Scallops
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1 pound of dry sea scallops. Sear for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and opaque. Do not overcrowd the pan; work in batches if necessary.
- Reduce heat to medium-low.
- Stir in 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional), 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon butter, and salt and pepper to taste. Gently saute for 1 minute, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.
- Garnish with extra lemon zest and parsley before serving. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as pasta, rice, or a simple salad.
