Ingredients

• 12 pieces Sea scallops
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Shallots, minced
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cups Dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 pieces Lemon, juiced

Directions

Step 1

Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

Season both sides of the scallops with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Lightly dust the scallops with all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 4

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with the olive oil.

Step 5

Once the butter is melted and the skillet is hot, add the scallops in a single layer, making sure they do not touch.

Step 6

Sear the scallops for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden crust. Remove them from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet.

Step 8

Add the minced shallots and garlic to the skillet, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant and softened.

Step 9

Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.

Step 10

Allow the wine to simmer for 2-3 minutes until it reduces slightly.

Step 11

Stir in the fresh parsley and squeeze in the juice of half a lemon.

Step 12

Return the scallops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to warm through for 1-2 minutes.

Step 13

Serve the scallops immediately with the pan sauce drizzled over the top. Pair with a crusty baguette or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
