The 12 Days of Christmas: Annual Christmas Parade
Seared Sea Scallops, serves 4
1lb fresh sea scallops (about 15 large scallops)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
salt & pepper
Rinse scallops with cold water and thoroughly pat dry. Add the butter and oil to a large saute pan on high heat. Salt and pepper the scallops. Once the oil/butter combo begins to smoke, gently add the scallops, making sure they are not touching each other. Sear the scallops for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. The scallops should have a 1/4-inch golden crust on each side while still being translucent in the center. Serve immediately.
