Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large pieces Sea scallops
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Curry powder
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel to ensure proper searing. Season both sides of the scallops with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, curry powder, finely chopped chives, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Stir well and refrigerate until ready to use.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, add the scallops to the skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side without moving them, until a golden crust forms.
Flip the scallops and add butter to the skillet. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, basting the scallops with the melted butter, until they are opaque and cooked through. Remove from heat.
Plate the scallops and serve immediately with a dollop of curry chive mayonnaise on the side or drizzled over the top.
Garnish with additional chopped chives if desired and enjoy!
