Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small shallot, minced
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 12 sea scallops
  • 1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or to taste

Directions

Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot; cook and stir until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in lemon juice and cook until evaporated, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits, about 3 minutes.

Step 2
Place scallops 1/2 inch apart in the skillet. Cook until browned on the bottom, about 1 minute. Flip and continue cooking until the second side is deeply browned, about 1 minute more.

Step 3
Transfer scallops to a serving plate; season with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley.

Recipe Tip

You can substitute 1/4 cup minced yellow onion for the shallot if preferred.
