- Dry the scallops in paper towels, then place on a large sheet of waxed paper.
- Sprinkle with drops of lemon juice, then with salt and pepper. The moment before sauteing, dredge with flour and shake in a sieve to dislodge excess flour. Film the frying pan with a 1/16-inch layer of oil. When almost smoking, add in the scallops. Toss for 4 to 5 min till scallops are lightly browned.
- Then toss for a moment with the shallots or possibly scallions, and garlic; finally toss with the butter and parsley and serve. Suggested accompaniments: If the scallops are a first course, accompany with French bread. For a main course, accompany with broiled tomatoes and green beans.
- Notes: Sauteed scallops should be crisp light brown outside and moistly tender inside. Keys to success are: have your sauteing oil very warm before the scallops go in, and have no more than one layer of scallops in the pan.
- Otherwise the scallops will steam, exude moisture, and won't brown. You may find, in using frzn scallops, which they will start out nicely, then suddenly release juices in the pan; to avoid this, blanch them before cooking by dropping them in a large pan of rapidly boiling water and bringing them quickly back to the boil, then drain immediately, dry them, and proceed with the recipe.
