Quantities above make four portions. Calorie count is per serving.
Method
- Pat scallops completely dry with paper towels. Season with salt and white pepper.
- Heat oil in a stainless steel pan until shimmering. Place scallops, don't move them for 2 minutes.
- Flip when deeply golden. Add butter, garlic, and capers to the pan.
- Baste scallops with the foaming butter for 1 minute.
- Squeeze lemon into pan, garnish with parsley. Serve immediately over risotto or greens.
Timing
Allow roughly 3 minutes of preparation and 9 minutes of cooking. Read the method through once before you start so nothing waits on a pan you could have had going already.
