Pat the sea scallops very dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.

Once the butter foams, add the scallops in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded.

6
Flip the scallops and cook for another 1-2 minutes until just opaque in the center.
7
Remove scallops from the pan and keep warm.
8
Reduce heat to medium, add the remaining butter, and pour in the white wine.
9
Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
