Chef’s Tips
When drying the scallops, make sure they are VERY dry. This is the only way to get that gorgeous crust! Do not move the scallops after adding to the skillet. Keeping them still gives them their even, crispy texture. Instead of avocado oil, you can use any neutral oil with a high smoke point, like grape seed oil or refined coconut oil.
