Pan-fried scallops with sauce
Description
The recipe won't take much time. If you want to get a nice crust, make sure to pat the scallops dry before searing. They can be served as an appetizer with cheese, fruits, and fresh vegetables. Do not cook them longer than indicated, otherwise they will become rubbery. Serve immediately after cooking. Serve hot.
