Scallops, but make ’em fancy—with buttery vibes, lemony zip, and zero stress. Ready in 20, gone in 5.
Ingredients
- 1lb. fresh scallops
-
2 Tbs. Butter Premium Olive Oil
-
2 Tbs. Lemon Premium Olive Oil
- 1 Lemon (sliced)
- 1/4 cup Parsley
- 1/2 cup Mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 cups White Wine (he used chardonnay)
- Pinch of Salt and Black Pepper
- 1/2-pound Angel Hair Pasta (but he used spaghetti last night)
- Capers (optional)
Directions
- Prep scallops. Gently pat scallops completely dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat the pan. Warm a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Sear scallops. Add scallops in a single layer, not crowded. Sear 2–3 minutes without moving until golden; flip and sear another ~1 minute until pliable and opaque.
- Add oil mix and vegetables. Lower heat. Add the butter‑infused EVOO, lemon‑infused EVOO, mushrooms (if using), and parsley to the pan. Gently toss scallops in sauce for 30–60 seconds.
- Finish with lemon. Remove from heat. Transfer scallops to serving plate. Spoon in sauce, garnish with lemon slices.
- Serve immediately. Enjoy with sides like orzo, rice, or greens.
