Remove from heat and place on a plate to rest.

Add garlic butter and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add white wine and cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add scallops back to the pan and spoon sauce over top.

To note:

Ensure oil is hot and scallops are dry before going into the pan.

Do not move or stir them until they have a golden-brown crust.

Sea scallops will need anywhere from 3-6 minutes to cook. If they're on the smaller side, they'll need closer to 3 minutes. If they're larger, they might need closer to 6 minutes.

To tell if scallops are cooked they should be just opaque. The texture should be slightly firm but still tender.
