About the Recipe
Seared scallops with garlic are a simple yet luxurious dish that outshines many classic seafood preparations. When perfectly seared, the scallops develop a golden, caramelized crust on the outside while staying tender and buttery within. A quick toss in fragrant garlic infuses them with a rich, savory flavor that enhances their natural sweetness without overpowering it.
