Brown Butter Scallops

Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season them with salt and pepper on both sides.

Cook the Scallops:
In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbly, add the thyme sprigs and garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Sear the Scallops:
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the scallops to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook them, as scallops cook quickly.

Make the Brown Butter:
In a separate small pan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Let the butter cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it turns a golden-brown color and has a nutty aroma.

Finish the Dish:
Remove the scallops from the skillet and place them on a serving plate. Discard the thyme sprigs from the skillet.

Serve:
Pour the brown butter over the scallops and squeeze fresh lemon wedges on top.

Enjoy!
Serve immediately and enjoy the rich flavors of these Brown Butter Scallops.
