I am a sucker for all thing seafood and I love scallops.

My neighborhood store has a scallops sale this week and I just had to buy them and make these amazing garlic butter scallops with lemon sauce.

And guess what, I finished all of them.

Most people would think of scallop as a super fancy ingredient that you can only get in expensive restaurants.

This is totally wrong.

When scallops are on sale, you can get 1 lb for a fraction of eating out, and you get 10x the quantity and not just two on your plate!

Garlic Butter Scallops with Lemon Sauce Recipe

Garlic Butter Scallops with Lemon Sauce - better than restaurant's pan-seared scallops with buttery lemon sauce, cheaper and so delicious | rasamalaysia.com

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 3
Calories 358 kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs sea scallops
  • Salt
  • Ground black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1 tablespoon Japanese mirin sweet rice wine, optional
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Rinse the scallops with cold water, pat dry with paper towels. Remove the side-muscle if you find any still attached. Season with salt and black pepper on both sides of the scallops.
  2. Heat up a skillet with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Pan-seared the scallops until both sides are nicely charred (but inside might not be cooked through). Dish out and set aside. On the same skillet, add the remaining melted butter and saute the garlic until light brown. Add the white wine, mirin (if using), lemon juice. Transfer the scallops back into the skillet. Add salt (to taste) and the parsley. As soon as the sauce comes to a light simmer, turn off the heat and serve immediately.

  3. This looks very good but it does not say if the garlic is to be chopped, minced, etc. Looking forward to giving it a try! Can’t rate it if I haven’t tried it yet
