Instructions:
Prepare the Scallops:
Pat the scallops dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for a good sear.
Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Sear the Scallops:
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the skillet is hot and the butter starts to foam, add the scallops in a single layer (do not overcrowd the pan).
Sear for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove scallops and set aside on a plate.
Make the Sauce:
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium.
Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the lime juice and zest, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
Let the mixture simmer for 1–2 minutes to slightly reduce.
Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.
