Scale
- 1/2 lb Dry Sea Scallops (about 12 large sized)

- 2 Tbs softened grass fed salted Butter (I prefer Kerrygold brand)

Instructions
- Pull side muscle off scallops if needed, rinse Scallops and pat dry (make sure they are dry before putting in the pan so they don’t stick)
- Sprinkle Salt and Pepper over both sides of Scallops
- Add EVOO to a Cast Iron Skillet to lightly coat the bottom (I prefer cast iron because the heat distributes evenly)
- Heat over med-high heat until oil shimmers
- Place Scallops in skillet and cook 3-4 minutes until golden brown (don’t move them or fuss with them until ready to flip)
- Using a thin spatula or tongs gently turn the Scallops over
- Add Butter to skillet, when it starts to melt spoon the butter over the Scallops cooking them approximately 3-4 minutes until golden brown
