Vacation Day Dinner! I made this scallop recipe last year and decided it was going to be our go-to scallop recipe. It was easy and delicious.
I found this recipe on the Completely Delish site. I forgot to add the thyme... Oh well.
The Crab Cake recipe is from Quattro's. Spot on!
Seared Scallops with Lemon Butter Sauce
Ingredients-
1 lb large sea scallops
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons butter1 teaspoon fresh thymeJuice of half a lemon
Method-
Pat scallops dry with a paper towel and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
Melt butter in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add thyme.
Add scallops seasoned side down and cook without disturbing for 3-4 minutes until well browned.
Flip scallops over and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes. While scallops are cooking, spoon the butter over the tops to infuse more flavor.
