COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat.

2. In the meantime, pat the scallops very dry with paper towel or a clean cloth. Sprinkle the scallops with salt and pepper. (Old bay is delicious too!)

3. When the pan is hot, add in the oil, then drop in your scallops, giving them enough room in between eachother so they don’t steam each other. The scallops should make a sizzling noise when you put them in the pan, if they don’t you don’t have it hot enough!

4. Cook the scallops for 2 minutes, making sure not to move them or touch them at all.

5. Flip the scallops over with a pair of tongs, and add the butter to the pan. Let the scallops cook for 1 more minute, basting the scallops with the butter left in the pan.

6. Remove your scallops from the pan and serve! Eat them buy themselves or with a side of your choosing!
