Description
This dish takes me back to seaside dinners with the scent of the ocean and butter wafting through the air. Tender, buttery scallops with a bright hit of lemon and a touch of garlic salt—simple yet luxurious. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a special occasion, these scallops always impress with minimal effort.
