Ingredients

  • 1 lb jumbo scallops
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil or ghee (enough to lightly coat the bottom of your pan)
  • 2 tsp coconut flour, for light dusting
  • pinch salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • 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!
