Scallops

While walking through my neighborhood market trying to decide what to cook for dinner tonight some scallops caught my eye. I've never made scallops before. Scallops are delicious. Perfect.

I decided that my end dish would be pesto pasta with pan seared scallops (wooo alliteration!). Because I'd never cooked scallops I decided that YouTube would be a good place to start.

The end result:

Now to be honest I selected only the best looking scallops out of the ones I cooked for the photo because it was difficult to get that sear perfect. I think that next time I'll find bigger scallops that don't flop over so easily and so I'll have fewer to manage at a time. That said cooking them in olive oil with salt and pepper was enough to give them an awesome flavor.
