Seared Scallops

1 Pound Sea Scallops
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil or Butter (we used Olive Oil)
Salt and pepper to taste

Dry the sea scallops with paper towels so that they are dry and not wet.  Salt and Pepper both sides of the scallops.  Heat a regular non-stick pan for about 2-3 minutes until it is hot.  Add the oil (or butter) and mix around then add the scallops.  Do not let them touch each other because they will stick, also if they don't all fit at once in the pan it is fine because you can do another batch.  Cook the scallops for about 1 1/2-2 minutes each side.  They really don't need much.  They  outside should have a golden crust and the insides should still be translucent.  Turn with thongs.  Cook the other side the same and you are done.
