Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 1/4 pounds (600 grams) scallops
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
• 4-5 large garlic cloves, minced (or 1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic)
• Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup dry white wine or broth (optional)
• 1 cup heavy cream (light, full fat or thickened cream. For a lower fat option, use evaporated milk)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley

Instructions

1. If scallops are frozen, thaw in cold water. Remove the side muscle from the scallops if attached. Thoroughly pat dry with paper towels.
2. Heat olive oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat until hot and sizzling. Add the scallops in a single layer without over crowding the pan (work in batches if needed). 
3. Season with salt and pepper to taste and fry for 2-3 minutes on one side (until a golden crust forms underneath), then flip and fry again for 2 minutes until crisp, lightly browned and cooked through (opaque). Remove from skillet and transfer to a plate.
