Notes

Make sure to use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh scallops, real butter, and freshly squeezed lemon juice make a significant difference. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet, avoiding the microwave to maintain texture. For a nicer touch, finish the dish with a pinch of red pepper flakes for subtle heat. Pair the dish with a crisp white wine for an elevated dining experience.
