Garlic Butter Scallops Recipe | Easy Seafood Dish | Smoking and Grilling

Welcome back to my channel Smoking and Grilling! Today, we're going to show you just how easy it is to make butter garlic scallops. Scallops are often seen as a fancy dish in high-end restaurants, but I'm here to let you know that you can make them at home with just a few simple ingredients. In this recipe, you'll need salt, fresh ground pepper, garlic, and butter. That's it! Start by seasoning the scallops with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Heat a pan on medium-high heat and melt the butter. Add the scallops and season them again with salt and black pepper. The black pepper will add a nice crust to the scallops and enhance their flavor. For extra flavor, you can add minced garlic to the butter and stir it around until it's hot. This will give the scallops a delicious garlic taste. Cook the scallops for about one and a half to two and a half minutes on each side, or until they form a crust from the fresh ground pepper. To add a refreshing touch, squeeze some lemon juice over the scallops while they're cooking or serve lemon wedges on the side. This will add a tangy, citrusy flavor that complements the butter and garlic perfectly. Once cooked, serve the scallops on a plate and garnish with lemon wedges for presentation. They should have a beautiful color and a mouthwatering aroma. These butter garlic scallops are incredibly delicious and will surely impress your taste buds. They're perfect as a main dish or as an appetizer. I hope you enjoyed watching this video and see just how easy it is to make these mouthwatering scallops. It's really just like cooking shrimp!
