Don’t be frightened to cook this sweet, juicy seared scallop recipe in your kitchen. You’ll first want to get the pan extremely hot so you can get a good sear on both sides. The key is to have all your ingredients ready because once Scallops hit the pan, it all moves very fast.
My favorite pan to sear scallops is a Non-Stick Fry Pan from All-Clad, a Safe PFOA-free Non-Stick Fry Pan available at Amazon. Great for cooking at higher heat with oils to develop foods with full, rich flavor, color, and crisp texture.
