Garlic Butter Scallops with Roasted Veggies


  • Author: Sarah

Ingredients

Scale

To create this flavorful dish, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 1 lb scallops
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, zucchini, broccoli)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to prepare your Garlic Butter Scallops with Roasted Veggies:

  1. Preheat Oven
    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will ensure that your vegetables roast perfectly, achieving that slightly charred and caramelized flavor.
  2. Prepare Vegetables
    • Toss the mixed vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
    • Spread them evenly on a baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
    • Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and golden brown.
  3. Cook Scallops
    • In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
    • Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute, allowing the garlic to infuse the butter with its aromatic flavor.
    • Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel to ensure they sear properly.
    • Season the scallops with salt and pepper and add them to the pan.
    • Cook the scallops for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden and opaque throughout.
  4. Serve
    Arrange the roasted vegetables and cooked scallops on a plate. Serve with lemon wedges on the side to add a refreshing citrus zing.
