Scallops in Lemon Butter Sauce



If you are looking for a healthy protein that comes together in just about 10 minutes, then look no further than this recipe! High in magnesium and omega-3s, scallops are great for you while tasting decadent. Lemony and buttery this dish absolutely melts in your mouth!


Scallops may seem difficult to cook with, but as long as you do not overcook them, they will turn out great. If you have a food thermometer and want to ensure that they are cooked through, bring them up to 120F in the pan and then pour them out. They will continue cooking a bit off of the pan, bringing their internal temperature to an ideal 130 - 135F. Enjoy!
