1 lb. sea scallops, muscle removed if necessary

Salt and pepper

1/3 cup flour

3-4 tablespoons Butter or Dill Olive Oil, divided*

1/2 cup chopped shallots

Pat dry the scallops.  Season with salt and pepper and dredge with flour.  Pat off excess flour.

​

In a skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil over high heat and add the scallops in a single layer.  Reduce the heat to medium.  Let the scallops sit still for 1 minute, then when lightly browned, turn over.  Cook a total of 3-4 minutes until nicely tan on both sides.  Add a little more olive oil if necessary.
