Brown Butter Scallop Revelation

[Peachy]

Hello! So, I tried something new recently – brown butter scallops! It was my first time tasting this dish, and let me tell you, it was a culinary revelation. The combination of perfectly seared scallops and nutty brown butter was divine.

Ingredients:

• 1 ¼ pounds scallops, about 24
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1 lemon, cut into wedges

Instruction:

1. Remove the small side muscle from the scallops, rinse with cold water, and thoroughly pat dry.
2. Season scallops with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
3. Melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add scallops to the skillet in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until golden brown and translucent in the center, about 1-2 minutes per side.
4. Reduce heat to medium-low; melt the remaining 5 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the butter starts to foam. Add garlic and thyme to the skillet, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5. Return scallops to the skillet; spoon butter over scallops for 1 minute.
6. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

I hope you enjoy making and indulging in these mouthwatering brown butter scallops as much as I do! They're perfect for a special dinner at home or impressing guests with their gourmet flavor. Let me know if you give them a try!
