Ingredients
Scale
- 10 Sea Scallops
- Salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Rinse and dry scallops thoroughly with paper towels. If using frozen scallops, thaw in the refrigerator and dry well.
- Season scallops with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter until it sizzles when a drop of water is added.
- Add scallops, ensuring each has its own space. Cook 1-1/2-2 minutes per side, turning only once, until nicely browned.
- Remove scallops from pan and set aside.
- Spinach
Notes
- For perfectly seared scallops, ensure they are completely dry before cooking. Excess moisture will prevent browning.
- If fresh spinach isn’t available, substitute 10 oz. of frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry.
- Store leftover scallops and spinach separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
