Scallops are one of those foods that are so easy to cook and so easy to mess up.  That's why Jamie makes me cook them. I've got a simple recipe that has a little heat.

Get some nice big scallops.  Pat the scallops dry or set them out to dry. While you do this, put some Olive Oil in a non-stick pan and turn on med heat.

Once scallops are dry and the oil is heated, go ahead and salt and pepper the scallops and put your favorite seasoning on them (we prefer Everglades Heat).

At this point, put the scallops in the pan and cook the scallops.  Sear both sides till nice and golden brown. I also like squeezing a lemon on the scallops for a little extra flavoring.
