INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Sea Scallops
1 cup Asparagus
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the scallops to the pan and sear for about 2-3 minutes per side until a golden crust forms and they are just opaque in the center. Remove the scallops and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the asparagus and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until tender-crisp.
Stir in the lemon juice, tossing the asparagus to coat evenly.
Return the scallops to the skillet for an additional minute to warm through, then transfer to a plate.
Serve the scallops alongside the lemon garlic asparagus and enjoy immediately.
