Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 pound scallops
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- salt
- pepper
Instruction
- Rinse scallops in cold water and remove the "foot." (This is the muscley piece that keeps the scallop attached to its shell. Just use your fingers to pull off and discard it.) Dry scallops very well and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking (about five minutes). Add avocado oil and heat until shimmering.
- Add scallops to the skillet to sear. Sear 2 minutes, then flip over in the order you put them in the pan (to ensure equal cooking time). Sear the other side for an additional 2 minutes.
