Pan Seared Scallops Recipe

Описание: Less is more, I think that motto holds true for scallops. Scallops are just plain good and over dressing them, in my opinion, overpowers their delicate natural great taste. Scallops were a staple for our Christmas Eve dinner every year. Grandma would sear them and serve them hot. Absolutely delicious!
Serve them as an appetizer or as a main dish with pasta, baked potato or seasonal vegetables and a salad. This recipe is simple and quick.

Ingredients:
2 lbs scallops
Extra virgin olive oil for frying
Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon wedges for garnish
Tarter sauce (optional)

Steps:
1. Rinse the scallops and pat dry.
2. Pour the evoo in the bottom of a skillet.
3. Place the scallops in the hot oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
4. Cook about 2 minutes on each side. The scallops will turn white in color when cooked.
5. Remove from heat.
6. Serve with lemon wedges and/or tarter sauce
