Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 12 Scallops
  • 1/2 tsp Salt (or to taste)
  • Black Pepper freshly ground
  • 1 1/3 cup Unsalted melted butter (or enough to cover scallops, see directions below)
  • Squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Instruction

  • 1. Arrange scallops in a saucepan just large enough to fit them snugly in one layer. Add enough water to pan to just cover the scallops. Pour that water into a measuring cup. Place scallops on paper towel; pat dry. Season scallops with salt and pepper on both sides. 2. Make sure the amount of melted butter equals the amount of water in the measuring cup. Pour butter into saucepan; heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until a thermometer reads 185 degrees. Add the scallops; heat butter again to 185 degrees. Cook scallops, turning once, until cooked through, 2-4 minutes. Transfer scallops with slotted spoon to plate. Drizzle with a little of the butter and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve hot. 12 sea scallops 1/2 teaspoon sea salt Freshly ground pepper 1 1/3 cups unsalted butter, about, melted Squeeze of lemon juice
