Seared Scallops

Add butter and oil to a 12 to 14-inch sauté pan on high heat. Salt and pepper the scallops. Add scallops to pan once smoke starts to rise from pan. Make sure scallops don’t touch each other. Sear for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Scallops should have a golden crust on each side but be translucent at the center. Serve right away.
