Tips and Tricks
Be sure to pat the scallops dry with paper towels before cooking to ensure a nice sear. Use a hot skillet to sear the scallops quickly and evenly. Don't overcook the scallops or they will become tough and rubbery. Serve the scallops immediately to enjoy their delicate flavor and texture.Nutrition
