Pan-Seared Scallops

Pan-Seared Scallops

Ingredients:

1 lb sea scallops

1 tbsp butter

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp white pepper

1 tsp red cayenne pepper

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

Combine all spices in a small bowl. Roll the sides of each scallop in the mixture, leaving the flat top and bottom clear. In a large nonstick skillet, melt butter with oil. Add scallops in one layer, and cook over medium high heat until they begin to turn white and opaque on the bottom (about 2-3 minutes). Flip them and cook on the other side. DO NOT OVERCOOK. Scallops should have just turned opaque and still be tender to a fork.
