Seared Sea Scallops Recipe

Recipe by: CHRISADAMS

"Seared on the outside with a light crust and tender on the inside. You may vary the amounts of all seasonings to suit your taste."

Directions

1In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, oregano, thyme and lemon pepper. Roll scallops in flour mixture until lightly coated on all sides.
2Heat olive oil in a skillet or frying pan over high heat. Add 4 scallops to the pan and sear on all sides (about 2 minutes for each side). After turning scallops, add 1 tablespoon parsley and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Remove scallops from pan and place on a plate in the oven to keep warm until ready to serve.
3Repeat until remaining scallops are cooked, tossing each batch with parsley and lemon juice.

Footnotes

Cook's Note:
I have also added Parmesan cheese to these while they are in the oven, which adds another flavor dimension.
Tip
Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.
