Scallops with Lemon Butter Sauce

Some things are too good to go overboard with. Scallops are one of them. They can’t be beat if served with a simple lemon butter sauce.

Ingredients:

• 6 pats butter
• Salt & black pepper
• 2 sliced garlic cloves
• 1 lb. large sea scallops
• Juice of 1 lemon

Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Stir in garlic, salt, and pepper and cook for a few seconds.

Add the scallops in a single layer in the pan,  cooking and turning until they begin to color. Transfer scallops to a serving platter, reserving butter in the skillet. Whisk in the lemon juice, pour the sauce through a strainer over the scallops, and serve. Don’t strain it if you want the sliced garlic in the sauce.
