Perfect Pan Seared Sea Scallops Recipe + Lemon Chive Butter

If you love seafood, then you will absolutely love this pan-seared sea scallops recipe that cooks in under 5 minutes. Scallops are bivalve mollusk that is a muscle that is encapsulated into two shells. It’s in the same family as a mussel, clam, or oyster. Scallops are most commonly sold shucked with the foot attached. The foot is what attaches the scallop to the shell, and I advise removing it because it can be chewy once cooked. Ingredients for this recipe: • 8 ounces softened unsalted butter 2 tablespoons • ½ peeled and finely minced shallot • 2 finely minced cloves of garlic • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley • juice and zest of 1 lemon • 1 pound U12 sea scallops, foot removed • 2 tablespoons oil • 1/3 cup white wine • sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste Serves 4 Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 5 minutes Procedures: 1.
