Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small shallot, minced
1 lemon, juiced
12 sea scallops
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or to taste

Directions

1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot; cook and stir until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in lemon juice and cook until evaporated, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits, about 3 minutes.
2

Place scallops 1/2 inch apart in the skillet. Cook until browned on the bottom, about 1 minute. Flip and continue cooking until the second side is deeply browned, about 1 minute more.
3

Transfer scallops to a serving plate; season with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley.
