Instructions
Gather all the ingredients.
Pat dry the scallops to make sure they are moisture free then sprinkle on some salt and black pepper.
Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 20-30 seconds until just melted. Mix in grated garlic with the melted butter and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat cooking oil on high. Once the oil is hot, reduce the heat to medium and carefully add the scallops. Cook for 1.5 minutes or until browned. Flip the scallops, add the garlic butter, and cook the other side for 1.5-2 minutes all while basting the scallops with the garlic butter using a spoon.
After searing, squeeze lemon on top, then transfer to serving plate and drizzle any remaining liquid from the pan on top.
