Seared Scallops with Garlic Butter Sauce
The best dishes are often the simplest. It’s a chicken and egg argument, at times; are you inspired to create a simple-yet-utterly-divine dish because you’ve found some amazingly fresh, beautiful ingredients? Or has your love of simple, clean, delicious flavors inspired you to seek out the best and freshest ingredients available? Either way, the end more than justifies the means.
I would walk to the ends of the earth for a plate of perfectly prepared seared scallops. Lightly caramelized garlic-butter sauce over the top just sends these over the edge in ways that cannot properly be expressed with mere words. If you don’t want to lick the screen right now, I can only conclude that you don’t like, are allergic to, or haven’t ever had good scallops. If the latter is the case, please try some at your earliest convenience—you’ll wonder how you’d never tried these delightful morsels before.

I am currently unable to consume seafood, damn you :p
I even had to walk past a stall selling fresh scallops yesterday. It was TORTURE.

I can only imagine!
I’m very sorry to torture you this way. I assure you it won’t happen often, landlocked as I am. I mean, we do have a lake nearby, but you don’t want to eat what comes out of it.
