Ingredients

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

Instructions

  • Rinse the scallops under cold water and remove the tough ligament from the side of each scallop. Pat them dry with paper towels.
  • Heat a skillet (cast iron preferred) over medium to high heat. Once fully heated, add the olive oil and butter. Sauté the garlic briefly, then add the scallops and pan-sear until both sides are browned. Add the white wine, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
  • Bring the mixture to a light simmer, cooking until the inside of the scallops is cooked through. Turn off the heat and serve immediately.
