1
If scallops are frozen, thaw them in cold water. Remove the side muscle from the scallops if attached, and then thoroughly pat dry with paper towels.
2
Heat olive oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat until hot and sizzling.
3
Add the scallops in a single layer without overcrowding the pan (work in batches if needed). Season with salt and pepper, and fry for 2-3 minutes on one side (until a golden crust forms underneath). Then, flip and fry again for 2 minutes until crisp, lightly browned, and cooked through (opaque).
4
Remove the scallops from the skillet and transfer them to a plate.
5
Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in the same pan, scraping up any browned bits left over from the scallops. Add in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, around 1 minute.
6
Pour in the dry white wine and bring it to a simmer for 2 minutes, or until the wine reduces by about half.
7
Add the heavy cream and allow it to simmer until slightly thickened.
8
Remove the pan from heat, stir in the lemon juice, and add the scallops back into the pan to warm through slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Serve the Luscious Lemon-Garlic Scallops over cooked rice and enjoy!
