A delightful and easy-to-make scallop dish with a burst of garlic and lemon flavors.
Heat the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat until melted.
Using unsalted butter allows you to control the saltiness of the dish.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Chop the onion finely to ensure it cooks evenly and blends well with the garlic.
Sauté the mixture for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Keep stirring to prevent the garlic from burning, as it can turn bitter.
Add the scallops to the skillet and cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn opaque.
Ensure the scallops are dry before adding them to the skillet for a better sear.
Sprinkle in the parsley, red pepper flakes, and squeeze the juice of the lemon over the scallops. Stir to combine and heat through.
Adding the lemon juice at the end preserves its fresh flavor.
Serve the scallops immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Serve with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
