First, pat the scallops dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This is crucial to achieve that perfect sear. Season the scallops with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.

Heat your large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to heat until it starts to shimmer, but not smoke.

Place the scallops in the pan, being careful not to overcrowd them. Allow them to cook for about 2-3 minutes on the first side without moving them, so they get a golden crust.

Once the scallops have a nice golden crust, flip them over using tongs. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until they are opaque and firm to the touch. Remove them from the pan and set them aside on a plate.

In the same pan, lower the heat to medium and add the butter. Once it melts, add the minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning the garlic.

Add the juice of one lemon to the pan, scraping up any bits of scallop left behind. This step adds extra flavor to the sauce.

Place the scallops back into the pan and spoon some of the garlic butter sauce over them. Let the scallops heat through for about 1 minute.

Once the scallops are cooked and coated in the sauce, remove the pan from heat. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the scallops to add a pop of color and fresh flavor.

Serve the scallops immediately on a plate, garnished with lemon wedges for an extra burst of freshness.

Now, dig in and enjoy your perfectly cooked Frontier Scallops. They are tender, flavorful, and irresistible!
