Instructions

Preparing the Scallops
-
Thaw the scallops completely (if using frozen) and pat them dry using a paper towel to remove extra water.
-
Now season them with salt and pepper on both sides.
For cooking the Scallops
-
In a pan, add olive oil and saute asparagus for about a minute. Remove and save it for plating.
-
In the remaining oil, carefully place the scallops approximately 1-2 inches apart. Cook for 90 seconds on a medium - high flame. Do not disturb them once they touch the pan.
-
Now flip them and cook them on the other side for 90 seconds as well. I use a timer when making these because if you cook them longer than 90 seconds, they will become chewy and texture will not come out well.
-
Now plate and serve with your favorite sides. I like my scallops with some creamy pasta!
