Pan Seared Sea Scallops with Brussels

Scott stopped by Cape Quality Seafood Friday afternoon and picked up some fresh off the boat sea scallops to have for dinner. So I stopped and grabbed some brussel sprouts to go with them for a fresh healthy dinner.  I decided to pan sear the scallops and roast the brussel sprouts in the toaster oven, yes I said toaster oven!  You can literally cook just about anything in a toaster oven if you try.  If you don't believe me you could always ask Sonja Morgan from The Real Housewives of New York (check out some of her recipes here).


Here is what you will need to make these scrumptious pan seared scallops:

8-10 large sea scallops
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp seasoning salt
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp thyme
2 tsp lemon pepper
3 tbsp olive oil
parsley to taste
2 tsp lemon juice

-In a medium saute pan heat 3 tbsp of olive oil.  
-While the oil is heating mix all dry ingredients, except parsley, in a bowl and coat scallops.
-Add the scallops to the pan and cook for 2 minutes.
-Flip the scallops, add the parsley and lemon juice and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
-Remove from the pan and serve immediately with your favorite side
Enjoy!
