Pan Seared Scallops

For the past week I've had a powerful desire for these little medallions of happiness. Here's what you'll need for the most awesome plate of pan seared scallops. File:Pansearedscallops1.jpg

Ingredients

• 1 Plate full of scallops(Use sea scallops because bay scallops suck ass)
• 1/4 cup of olive oil
• Fresh Ground Pepper
• Minced Garlic
• Salt
• Thyme

Method

Pour the oil in a medium mixing bowl, dump in some garlic, ground pepper, a few pinches of salt, and a few pinches of thyme.

Mix that shit up with a fork

Dump the plate of scallops into the goo. My precious goooo!

Fold them gently into the goo and let set for about 20 minutes

Throw the whole mixture onto a medium hot pan with a light coating of oil on it.

Flip em over after about a minute or two. They should be slightly toasted on the bottom.

Let em cook for a about a minute more and then spoon them onto a plate and enjoy.

Here you have a load of options. You can either just eat em plain, with pasta, vegies, or whatever. I pan fried some noodles and cashews in the left over herbs and oil and dumped the scallops on top. That's how you make some damn fine scallops.
