Ingredients

  • 1 lb (500g) natural and untreated scallops
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3 dashes ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley leaves

Instructions

  • Rinse the scallops with cold water and remove the tough ligament from the side of the scallops. Pat dry with paper towels.
  • Heat up a skillet (cast-iron preferred) on medium to high heat. When it's fully heated, add the olive oil and butter. Saute the garlic for a little bit and add the scallops, pan-sear until both surfaces turn brown. Add the white wine, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper.
  • Bring it to a light simmer, or until the inside of the scallops are cooked through. Turn off heat and serve immediately.
