1 to 1 1/4 pounds dry sea scallops, approximately 16
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Parsley
Directions
Rinse scallops with cold water and thoroughly pat dry. Sprinkle scallops with salt, pepper and parsley, then set aside. Add butter and oil to a saute pan on high heat. Once the fat begins to smoke, gently add the scallops, making sure they are not touching each other. Sear the scallops for 2 minutes on each side. The scallops should have a golden crust on each side while still being translucent in the center. Serve immediately and enjoy.
