Notes

To enhance the flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the lemon butter sauce for a slight kick. Make sure to pat the scallops dry before cooking to achieve a perfect golden sear. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Gently reheat in a skillet rather than using a microwave to maintain tenderness. This recipe is perfect for special occasions and is sure to impress with its bold and fresh flavors.
