Scallops are tasty and refined, perfect for a fancy dinner gathering or a romantic meal for two. Make sure you buy dry, as many scallops can be waterlogged, making them difficult to sear. Bay scallops are the best, albeit a bit on the pricier side. In a pinch, you can buy frozen, although fresh is always best. When preparing, never overcook the scallops because they'll end up with an unpleasant, rubbery texture. Even slightly undercooked, they're still OK to eat. Grill or pan sear in butter on medium-high heat for about 2 minutes per side. Plate up with delicious zucchini noodles in a buttery sauce. They should be slightly golden brown in color and opaque throughout.
