Lightly
season
Add salt and pepper to the uncooked scallops to lightly season before
cooking. Flip the scallops over to season both sides.
Do not overseason or overcook the scallops.
You don’t want them too salty or too tough.
Add
oil to the pan
Add just enough vegetable oil to the pan to cover it evenly, and heat
the oil until it’s hot, but not smoking.
Sear
the scallops
With the tongs, place the scallops into the oil, one by one, six at
a time.
Flip
the scallops
Use tongs to flip the scallops over after about 90 seconds.
Season
and serve
Season the scallops with parsley as they are browning. Remove them from
heat after 90 seconds and set them on paper towels to drain. Serve them
while they’re still warm!
