Seared scallops cook quickly (within 5 minutes) and are best when enjoyed immediately. If you’re serving them with pasta, vegetables, or rice, make sure they are ready before cooking the scallops. I highly recommend the garlic basil butter!
Ingredient:

- 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour, optional, see notes
- Salt and fresh ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil or vegetable oil
- Garlic Basil Butter

- 3 to 4 lemon slices
