Stir in chopped parsley and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Step 4: Combine and Serve
Return the seared scallops to the skillet, spooning the garlic butter sauce over them.
Heat for 1–2 minutes to warm the scallops without overcooking them.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley and a side of your choice.
Serving Suggestions
Sides: Serve with garlic mashed potatoes, steamed asparagus, or a light salad.
Carbs: Pair with crusty bread or creamy risotto to soak up the rich sauce.
Wine Pairing: A crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay, complements the scallops beautifully.
Tips for Perfectly Seared Scallops
Use Dry Scallops: “Dry” scallops are untreated and caramelize better than “wet” scallops, which are treated with a preservative.
Preheat the Pan: Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the scallops to achieve a golden sear.
