Pat the scallops dry with paper towels, absorbing as much moisture as you can.
Add the oil or ghee to a large sauté pan or cast iron skillet, heated to medium high.
Lightly dust the tops of the scallops with coconut flour. Season with salt & pepper.
Add the scallops to the pan, seasoned side down, making sure they don't touch. Season the other side with salt & pepper.
Sear the scallops for about 2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Serve hot!
