Pan-Seared Scallops
by
Luca Ferrari
The Pan-Seared Scallops have a nice nutty flavor that enhances the quality of an already great product. This technique is different in feeling and texture from the traditionally cooked scallops, and is a great idea for anyone that prefers a firmer texture.
These scallops are perfect in a seafood platter, in a barbecue, or even in a dinner with friends.
