Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes
- Remove the small side muscle from each scallop, rinse with cold water and pat dry.
- Salt the scallops.
- Add the butter and oil to a saute pan over high heat. As pan begins to smoke, add the scallops, making sure they do not touch each other. Sear for 1-1/2 minutes each side; they will have a golden crust but still be translucent in the center.
- Serve immediately with vegetable slaw.
