Garlic & Herb Seared Scallops, Arugula Caprese Salad & Sugar-Free Lemonade

I'm all about quick meals lately, things have never been busier for me. This only took about 10-15 minutes! My first crack at scallops, probably one of the only seafoods I like. I have also been experimenting with different greens lately. My usual go to is spinach or kale because it can be put in just about anything but I had arugula on hand for this and it was just as delicious as the spinach caprese! Hope you enjoy :)



Garlic & Herb Seared Sea Scallops:
- dry sea scallops
- organic butter
-olive oil
- parsley (fresh chopped or dry)
- granulated garlic

Remove abductor muscles on the scallops. Clean and dry thoroughly with paper towels. In a large stainless steal frying pan heat up equal parts butter and olive oil on high until pan is evenly coated. Sear scallops about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown flipping with tongs. Once browned, turn heat to low, add a little more butter, parsley and granulated garlic. Allow to sit for a minute. Remove pan from heat, remove scallops and place on a serving dish. Scrape any butter, parsley and garlic left over
and top the scallops with it.
