How long does it take to boil scallops?

Answer 1

If you are pan searing your scallops, heat a pan to medium-high heat and then add oil or butter or bacon fat, or whatever else you'd like. (Make sure you dry off your scallops first with a paper towel so they won't splatter.) Once the fat is hot, add your scallops.

There should be enough room between the scallops so that they sizzle rather than steam-that's the only way you'll get a good crust. If your pan isn't big enough to hold the scallops without crowding, sear them in batches.

Scallops only need a few minutes per side to get nicely browned. They're done when they feel barely firm to the touch, and when you cut into one, it should be faintly opalescent. Don't overcook them or they'll be dry and rubbery.
