Sauteed Scallops Recipe

Sauteed Scallops Recipe – Quickly prepare this delicious, healthy meal in less than 20 minutes. It’s flavored with just the right amount of garlic and lemon juice.

This past weekend, my husband and I had both nights where it was just he and I at home. My daughter was gone. My son was gone. And it was so weird! I don’t know that I will ever be ready for the empty nester season of our lives. Don’t get me wrong, Hubby and I have a wonderful time when it’s just he and I together. But it just feels so different without the whole family together when we are at home. I guess these types of weekends are good to have every now and then to get me ready for that season, right?

Anyway, we of course thought that it was necessary to have an official date night. So, we went out to one of our favorite seafood restaurants the first night. Then, the second night we had more seafood cravings and decided we hadn’t had scallops in forever.

This dinner is one of the fastest meals ever to make! Literally 15 minutes max. Start boiling water to cook the pasta. While that’s heating, rinse the scallops and pat them dry. While the pasta is cooking, saute the scallops. (I used gluten free pasta).  As you can see, I also made sautéed spinach too and served all the yumminess together.

INGREDIENTS

1 lb. of scallops

1 tablespoon of coconut oil or olive oil (or butter)

4 cloves of garlic, minced

Juice of 1/2 a lemon

DIRECTIONS

In a medium size saucepan, heat coconut oil over medium-high heat.

Pat the scallops dry.

Add minced garlic to the saucepan.

Add scallops, cook for approximately 2 minutes on each side (or until desired consistency)

Squeeze the juice of 1/2 a lemon over top.

Serve over pasta of choice and drizzle with a little olive oil and more lemon juice.

ENJOY!!
