- 1 tablespoon butter grass-fed
- 1/4 cup dry white wine

- Cook the scallops for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until browned and crisped. Then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.

- Turn down the heat to medium-low, add in the wine, and stir to deglaze the skillet.
- Add in your Herbed Butter. Melt and stir.
- Plate the scallops and drizzle the melted butter over top.
- Garnish with a touch of microgreens or fresh herbs.
