Seared Scallops in Garlic Lemon Butter - Sweet, juicy and tender scallops in a silky sauce.

The best part of living where I do is being surrounded by pristine waterways, and having friends who send you a message saying “Got scallops for you, will drop them off on my way home”

These beautiful fresh, fat and juicy scallops were begging to be treated with a bit of love.

I find that searing scallops brings out the natural sweetness and when you toss them in this silky, tangy sauce it takes them to a whole other level of yummy.

Serve with a big, fresh salad and you’ve got the perfect fast dinner.

Enjoy!
