Ingredients

  • 1⁢ lb large sea scallops (about 10-12 scallops) – Choose dry scallops if possible, as they ⁢have a better ​texture and don’t release excess water ​during cooking.
  • 2 ⁣tablespoons⁣ olive oil – Avocado ‍oil is​ also a grate alternative due to ‍its high smoke ⁤point.
  • Salt⁣ and black ⁤pepper ⁣- Freshly ground black pepper will ‌elevate‌ the flavor ⁤profile.
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter – You can replace with‌ ghee ⁢for ⁤a dairy-free version.
  • 2⁣ cloves garlic, minced ⁣ – Shallots can serve as a milder substitute if you ‌prefer a softer garlic flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice – Freshly squeezed lemon juice is best;​ bottled juice lacks the brightness.
  • Fresh⁤ herbs (such as parsley or thyme) – basil can ⁣be used for ​a unique twist.
  • 4 cups fresh spinach – Kale⁤ or Swiss chard can be used for a heartier green alternative.
