I love the sweetness of sea scallops – and the ease of preparing them! These beauties have a depth and sweetness the smaller bay scallops just don’t have. Add some sides and dinner is served!
What you need:
- 12 Large Sea scallops
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Small bunch of chives
- 4 sprigs of parsley
- 2 Tablespoons virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
How to Do it:
Rinse the scallops and dry them well on paper towels.
Mix the three seasonings together on a large plate. 
Press each side of all the scallops into the spices, making sure it sticks.
Heat the olive oil to medium high in a skillet or grill pan. Place each scallop in the hot oil and sear for about 1 – 2 minutes on each side. They should be soft and tender on the inside with a brown sear on the outside. Be careful not to over-cook!
Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with chives and parsley.
Good sides might be some rice and a small salad.
Serves 4
