👨‍🍳 Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add shallot; cook and stir until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes.

Pour in lemon juice and cook until evaporated, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits, about 3 minutes.

Place scallops 1/2 inch apart in the skillet.

Cook until browned on the bottom, about 1 minute.

Flip and continue cooking until the second side is deeply browned, about 1 minute more.

Transfer scallops to a serving plate; season with salt and pepper.

Garnish with parsley.
