Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 1 pound large sea scallops
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chicken stock or broth
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 medium shallot (finely diced)
  • salt and pepper (to taste)

Instruction

  • Rinse scallops to remove any potential grit and drain well. Pat both sides of scallops dry with paper towels.
  • Heat 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add butter and olive oil into heated skillet and allow butter to melt.
  • Add scallops to the skillet in a single layer, taking care to leave plenty of room between each scallop. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes and then gently turn scallop with tongs or a small spatula to sear the second side for an additional 3 to 5 minutes or until the scallop is firm to the touch and well-browned.
  • Remove the scallops from the skillet to a serving platter and keep warm.
