Cajun Scallops

Ingredients

  • Butter
  • Garlic
  • Pepper
  • Onion
  • Hot sauce

Directions

  1. Warm the oil in a cast-iron skillet set over high heat. Stir in the onion, Cajun seasoning, and pepper, then cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.
  2. Add the butter and garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, just long enough to wake up the garlic.
  3. Place the scallops in the pan and cook for 1 minute, until the first side is browned. Drizzle with hot sauce, then turn the scallops over.
  4. Continue cooking for 3 minutes, or until the scallops are cooked through.
