Instructions
- Pat the scallops dry thoroughly with paper towels.
- Season the scallops generously with salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.
- Heat the Ultra-Premium olive oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat, until very hot and sizzling.
- Add the scallops to the pan and fry for two minutes on one side (until a golden crust forms). Flip and fry again for another minute or two, until a golden crust forms on the other side, and they’re just cooked through and barely opaque. Remove from skillet and transfer to a warm serving plate.
- In the same pan, over medium high heat, add butter along with Ginger & Black Garlic Infused Olive Oil, scraping up any browned bits left over from the scallops. Pour in wine and bring to a simmer for two minutes or until wine reduces by about half. Stir in the lemon juice.
- Remove the pan from the heat and immediately pour the hot pan juice over the plated scallops. Garnish with parsley and serve.
- Serve over rice, risotto, polenta, pasta, with garlic bread or steamed vegetables
