This Pan Seared Scallop Dinner is perfect for a romantic date night at home. The scallops are quickly seared to perfection, then topped with a flavorful garlic butter sauce. It's elegant, yet easy to make, ensuring you have more time to spend with your loved one.
Ingredients: 8 large scallops. 2 tablespoons olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 tablespoon butter. 1 lemon, juiced. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley.
Instructions: Pat dry the scallops with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season both sides of the scallops with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove scallops from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add butter and lemon juice to the skillet, stirring to combine and create a sauce. Return scallops to the skillet, coating them with the sauce. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the scallops. Serve immediately, drizzling any remaining sauce over the scallops. Enjoy your romantic dinner!
