  • Add the remaining butter to cook your second batch.
  • Set your scallops aside on a plate.
  • Add the garlic and cook while scraping the bottom just until fragrant.
  • Stir in the olive oil and fresh lemon juice then simmer for just a couple of minutes to create a luscious garlic sauce.
  • Return the scallops to the skillet and nestle into sauce then sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
  • Season with sea salt and pepper to your taste.
