Searing Scallops

Thaw Naked Scallops overnight in refrigerator.
Gently peel adductor muscle from the side of thawed scallops.
Pat Scallops dry of any excess moisture on each side.
Season scallops with Salt and Pepper.
Heat oil in Sauté pan on medium high heat.
Add scallops. Scallops should sizzle when placed in pan! Do not overcrowd the pan. Once placed in pan, do not move scallops until ready to flip.
Allow to sear for about 3-4 minutes, until golden brown caramelization develops.
Flip scallops and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Remove Scallops and reserve warm.

Making the Sauce

Turn heat down to low. Add about ¼ cup dry white wine to hot pan and simmer until reduced by half, about 1-2 minutes.
Add butter and "swirl" pan to melt and create sauce. Turn heat down slightly, do not boil!
Add chives and fresh squeezed lemon juice.
Coat scallops with sauce, top with lemon zest, and serve.
