Scallop Recipe

SEARED DIVER SEA SCALLOPS

Diver scallops are sea scallops retrieved by divers. (Bay scallops are very small).

To thaw frozen scallops, place on rack on tray covered in refrigerator. Dry scallops well and season with salt and pepper before searing.

4 sea scallops per person
2 tablespoons each: olive oil and unsalted butter

Over high heat, add butter and let it start to turn barely brown.

Add olive oil and swirl to combine. Put scallops in pan, shaking to prevent sticking. Cook until brown on outside and barely opaque in center, about 2-3 minutes on each side.

Serve with lemon wedges, hollandaise or asparagus tomato relish.

These pan seared scallops are a simple and quick treat.
