Bay Scallops in Garlic Butter

This Bay Scallops in Garlic Butter recipe features tender scallops cooked in a rich, flavorful garlic butter sauce. Quick and easy to prepare, it’s perfect as an appetizer or a main dish served over pasta, rice, or with a side of crusty bread.


Ingredients

(Serves 2)

  • 1 pound bay scallops (about 2 cups)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Scallops

  • Pat the bay scallops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps them sear better.
  • Season the scallops lightly with salt and pepper.

2. Cook the Scallops

  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  • Add the scallops to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are opaque and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan to allow the scallops to sear properly.
  • If using, sprinkle the red pepper flakes during the last minute of cooking for a slight kick.

3. Add Lemon and Parsley

  • Once the scallops are cooked, drizzle with fresh lemon juice and stir to combine.
  • Sprinkle with chopped parsley and toss gently to coat the scallops in the garlic butter sauce.

4. Serve

  • Serve the scallops immediately with lemon wedges on the side, and enjoy with a side of rice, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious garlic butter sauce.

Tips

  • Don’t Overcook: Bay scallops cook very quickly. Overcooking will make them rubbery, so be sure to remove them from the heat once they are opaque and firm.
  • Extra Flavor: Add a splash of white wine or a little bit of Parmesan cheese to the garlic butter sauce for extra flavor.
  • Make it a Meal: Serve over a bed of pasta or alongside roasted vegetables for a complete dish.

These Bay Scallops in Garlic Butter are a simple yet indulgent treat that’s sure to impress! 🦑🧄✨
