Ingredients

Pat the scallops very dry and salt them.
Heat a skillet over high heat with 1 tablespoon of the butter.
Sear the scallops 2 minutes without moving them until golden.
Flip, add the rest of the butter, and cook 1 to 2 minutes more, spooning the browning butter over them.

Cristina's tip: Buy dry scallops, not wet-packed. They brown much better.
