Recipe 2017.03.10 - Pan-Seared Scallops

The secret to perfect pan-seared scallops is to make sure the scallops are dry, or else they won't burn/brown.

The recipe is simple enough. Add olive oil and butter to a saute pan and bring to medium heat. Once hot enough, add the scallops, making sure they're not overcrowded. Salt and pepper the scallops. Sear for 1.5 minutes on each side, or until nicely caramelized. Avoid turning them over and over as they cook. For additional taste, squeeze over some lime juice.
