Seared Scallops🍽️ with Tomatoes🍅, Olives, and Capers

Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper. This ensures a golden, crispy sear.
2️⃣ Sear the Scallops:

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is shimmering, add the scallops, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Sear the scallops for about 2 minutes per side until they develop a golden crust.
Remove scallops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
3️⃣ Make the Sauce:

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon butter and minced garlic.
Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
4️⃣ Add the Veggies:

Add the cherry tomatoes, olives, and capers.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften.
5️⃣ Deglaze the Pan:

Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Stir in the lemon juice.
6️⃣ Finish the Dish:

Return the scallops to the skillet and cook for an additional minute to meld the flavors.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
7️⃣ Serve:

Plate the scallops with the sauce and garnish with lemon wedges. Enjoy!
