Ingredients


Preparation
Thaw scallops (if necessary), rinse and pat dry. Slice lemon in half. Season with freshly ground black pepper and sea salt. Heat butter over medium high heat in a non-stick pan. Add scallops in a single layer to pan. Squeeze lemon juice over scallops and saute 2-3 minutes on that side. Flip scallops (only once) and saute another 2-3 minutes. The outside should have a nice, light brown carmelization and they should be opaque in the center. Serve with remaining lemon half, cut in quarters.
