Ingredients

1 lb scallops
salt
pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter

Directions

1

Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat.  In the meantime, pat the scallops very dry with a paper towel.

2

Sprinkle the sea scallops with salt and pepper, to season. 

3

When the pan is hot, add the oil, then drop in your scallops, giving them enough room in between so they don’t steam each other.

4

The scallops should make a sizzling noise when you put them in the pan. 

5

Cook the scallops for 2 minutes, making sure not to move them or touch them at all.  Flip the scallops over with a pair of tongs, and add the butter to the pan.

6

Let the scallops cook for 1 more minute.

7

Remove the scallops from the pan and serve!
