Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot, cook and stir until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in lemon juice and cook until evaporated, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits, about 3 minutes.

  2. Place scallops 1/2 inch apart in the skillet. Cook until browned on the bottom, about 1 minute. Flip and continue cooking until the second side is deeply browned, about 1 minute more.

  3. Transfer scallops to a serving plate, season with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley.
