Ingredients

• 12 large Sea scallops
• 2 tablespoons Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning mix
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 8 cups Baby spinach
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 whole Lemon, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1

Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning mix, panko breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well.

Step 3

Dredge each scallop in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to coat evenly. Shake off any excess crumbs and set aside.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the scallops to the pan in a single layer, leaving space between each.

Step 5

Cook the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy on the outside while remaining tender on the inside. Remove scallops from the skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 6

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 7

Once the butter melts, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the baby spinach to the skillet and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Toss the spinach in the garlic butter until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Plate the spinach as a bed on serving plates and arrange the scallops on top.

Step 10

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy!
