Pans that aren’t non-stick will give the best browning, and be sure to choose a pan where scallops can be cooked in a single layer. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat about 30 seconds, then add scallops and cook quickly, probably not more than 2 minutes per side. Don’t have the heat too high or the scallops will release moisture and won’t brown properly. (Scallops are better slightly underdone than overdone, so don’t overcook! There is a good discussion of how to cook scallops here.) [...] [...] Use a heavy pan which heats evenly.

I love scallops - the whole idea of a sea creature that turns into butter when properly cooked? Yum. (As opposed to squid, which turns into bubble gum. Equally delicious, but in a different way) That photo might be one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.
