INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare the Scallops:
Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Cook the Scallops:
In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and foaming.
Add the scallops to the skillet in a single layer (work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding) and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove scallops from skillet and set aside.
