Tip 1: I like to take a blow dryer or a fan on COOL and dry surface on both sides to draw out moisture and get a nice hard sear. You can leave it uncovered in the fridge for a couple hrs.

Tip 2: When buying scallops try to get ‘dry’ vs ‘wet’ because they will sear & taste better but also you won’t be getting scallops that have been injected with water.

Tip 3: Give them a lil shake when searing (always on a preheated pan) so they don’t stick but then let them be to develop a hard sear. I always sear 4-5 min on one side and 30-60 sec on the other depending on size.

Ingredients:
* 10 U-10 scallops.
* 3 tbsp capers.
* 1 tbsp caper brine.
* 1 lemon
* 4-5 tbsp butter (unsalted).
* Black pepper to taste.
* Fresh parsley to taste.

Directions:
1. Cut the foot off the scallops and season.
2. Preheat a pan for 2 min on high. Add some olive oil.
3. Sear the scallops, giving them a lil shake. Let them sit unbothered for 3-5 min depending on size. Flip and sear another 30-60 sec.
4. Remove from pan.
5. Add in butter and capers. Let them brown on medium for 4-6 min. Scrape the pan for the scallop drippings. Add lemon zest.
6. Squeeze 1/2-1 lemon to taste.
7. Add in the parsley.
8. Serve.
