Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb large scallop , trimmed of any tendons
3 tbsp butter

Directions:

Season the scallops lightly with pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until foamy.
Add the scallops to the hot butter and cook, turning, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side.
Add the capers and cook about 30 seconds.
Swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and remove from heat.
Salt & Pepper to taste.
Serve the scallops sauced with the caper butter.
Lemon wedges make a delicious garnish if you have them.
