How to make it

  • If you're using bay scallops, keep them whole. If you're using sea scallops, cut each 1 in half horizontally.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper, toss with flour, and shake off the excess.
  • In a very large saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter over high heat until sizzling and add the scallops in 1 layer.
  • Lower the heat to medium and allow the scallops to brown lightly on 1 side without moving them, then turn and brown lightly on the other side.
  • This should take 3 to 4 minutes, total.
  • Melt the rest of the butter in the pan with the scallops, then add the shallots, garlic, and parsley and saute for 2 more minutes, tossing the seasonings with the scallops.
  • Add the wine, cook for 1 minute, and taste for seasoning. Serve hot with a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Enjoy!

    Prepared this for dinner tonight. Delicious. I didn't have any lemon handy, so I substituted lime and it worked well. I had some leftover rice and it went well. What are some other sides for this dish?

    Very nice. Thanks.
