- 1 pound of fresh scallops
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil (ghee or butter)
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat for a few minutes. Add the olive oil (ghee or butter) and allow to heat for a few seconds. Carefully drop the scallops into the pan – leaving space between them.
