Instructions
- Stir together the herb butter in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Brown the scallops for no more than 30 seconds on each side, in a hot pan so that they are nicely browned.
- Place the scallops in four serving bowls or shells. Place a generous amount of herb butter on top.
- Bake in the oven, using the broil function for a few minutes at 450°F (225°C) or until the butter starts to bubble.
Tip!
Make sure the scallops are dry before broiling, let sit on a paper towel to dry off. Play around with different herbs! Try fresh thyme, or chives for a different flavor profile.
Types of scallops
For this recipe we use larger scallops, called "sea scallops." Sea scallops are commonly sold by the pound (450 g); on average there are 20-30 sea scallops per pound. However, the amounts sold per pound can vary.
Hi, Mary! This is an appetizer with 2 scallops per serving, so it should generally be the bigger sea scallops, not bay scallops. Hope this helps!
