Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 lb. sea scallops ((about 15 scallops))
- 1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instruction
- Rinse the scallops and pat them dry with paper towels. Sprinkle them with kosher salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a large (14-inch), heavy-bottomed skillet, over medium-high heat, for about 3 minutes.
- Add the scallops in a single layer, making sure they don't touch each other.
- Sear the scallops for about 3 minutes on each side. You want a nice brown crust on both sides. When fully cooked, the inside should be white and moist. Serve immediately.
