PREPARATION

1
Pat the scallops very dry with paper towels and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
2
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add half of the ghee.
3
Once the pan is smoking slightly, add the scallops in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch.
4
Sear the scallops without moving them for 2 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms, then flip.
5
Add the remaining ghee, minced garlic, and trimmed asparagus to the pan, sautéing for another 2-3 minutes.
6
Stir in the lemon juice and zest, spooning the melting lemon butter over the scallops to baste them.
7
Remove from heat once the asparagus is tender and garnish the dish with fresh chopped parsley.
