Sautéed Scallops with Butter and Soy Sauce is a classic Japanese dish featuring scallops. The combination of the flavorful scallops with rich, savory butter and soy sauce is sure to captivate you.
Pat scallops dry with paper towels. Dust the scallops with flour, shaking off any excess so that they are coated with a thin layer of flour.
Heat oil in a pan. Once the pan is hot, add the scallops and sauté over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes until browned. Then, flip them over and sauté the other side for 1 to 2 minutes until cooked through.
Add seasonings (sake, mirin, and soy sauce) and butter to the pan. Heat the mixture, occasionally shaking the pan to mix the butter until it melts.
Serve on a plate with the seasoned mixture. Sprinkle with pepper and green onions to taste.
