Few things are as satisfying to eat than a perfectly cooked, buttery scallop. The challenge is not in the cooking of the scallop, it's finding good scallops. It took us a while to be able to sell these beautiful U8, wild-caught Boston Dry Scallops.
On this recipe, we cooked these scallops using the Victoria Signature Series skillet. They are built using a proprietary Spherrous Iron Technology which makes this skillet literally unbreakable.
