Provided by Maya Krampf

Categories     Main Course

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

16 large Sea scallops ((thawed in the fridge if frozen; ~1 lb))
1 tsp Sea salt
1/4 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Olive oil
2 tbsp Salted butter ((softened))
1 tbsp Lemon juice
2 cloves Garlic ((minced))
1/2 tbsp Fresh thyme ((leaves))
1/2 tbsp Fresh parsley ((chopped))

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mash together the butter, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, and parsley. (The lemon juice may not fully incorporate, which is fine.) Set aside.
  • Pat the scallops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a medium cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, until shimmering. Keep the garlic herb butter nearby.
  • Add the scallops in a single layer, without touching. Sear, without moving, for 2-3 minutes, until a crust forms on the bottom.
  • Flip the scallops and immediately add the garlic herb butter to the pan around the scallops in pieces. Sear the scallops for 2-3 more minutes, basting them with the butter occasionally, until a crust forms on the other side and scallops are cooked through.

PAN-SEARED LEMON AND GARLIC SCALLOPS



Pan-Seared Lemon and Garlic Scallops image

Scallops have a reputation for being hard to cook correctly, but this recipe is really fast, easy, and oh so tasty. The key is high heat for the sear, a good nonstick pan, and clarified butter. Pairs well with risotto.

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Scallops

Time 1h20m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 medium sea scallops
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
5 tablespoons clarified butter (ghee), warm
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons clarified butter (ghee)

Steps:

  • Place scallops in a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Cover and let rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Combine 5 tablespoons warm butter, lemon juice, and garlic in a bowl; whisk until combined. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • At the same time, remove scallops from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat, making sure it does not smoke. Brush scallops with garlic mixture and add to the pan. Cook until the bottoms begin to sear and turn golden, about 2 minutes. Flip scallops, brush with garlic mixture, and cook another 2 minutes. Remove scallops from the heat and let them continue to cook while they rest, off the heat, for 5 more minutes. Plate and serve.
