SEARED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat.
• In the meantime, pat the scallops very dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle the sea scallops with salt and pepper, to season.
• 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. The scallops should make a sizzling noise when you put them in the pan.
• 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. Let the scallops cook for 1 more minute, basting the scallops with the butter.
• Remove the scallops from the pan and serve!
