Scallops are easier to cook than you think, and this Pan-Seared Scallops recipe proves it. The key is drying the scallops thoroughly and searing them in a smoking hot pan to get that professional golden-brown crust without overcooking the inside. Finished with a quick pan sauce of melted butter, lemon juice, and capers. They are sweet, tender, and melt in your mouth. Serve with risotto or asparagus for a luxury date-night dinner.
