Gordon Ramsay pan-fried scallops are delicious crispy scallops. They're flavored with basic seasoning spices like salt and pepper. These golden-brown scallops can be enjoyed with a variety of side dishes.
Rinse the scallops thoroughly with cold water and pat them dry.
Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Place a saucepan over high heat and add oil and butter to it.
When the oil in the pan is hot, slowly add scallops to the pan. Make sure the scallops do not touch each other.
Sear the scallops for at least 1.5 minutes on each side until they're golden brown. Make sure they're still translucent in the center and not overcooked.
Serve these scallops immediately once they're cooked.
