It’s probably the scallops you’re using. Most frozen scallops are “wet” scallops, meaning they’ve been soaked in sodium tripolyphosphate to retain moisture. The result is scallops with a weird taste and sopping wet, nearly impossible to sear.
If you have a decent fish market near you, you should be able to get fresh, dry scallops.
Then it’s just a matter of getting your pan really hot with a little oil, sear for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, flip, add some butter and baste for another 60-90 seconds. [Reply]

This and what glory posted. You gotta have that pan smoking hot to cook quickly each side. The lower the heat, the longer it takes, and they result in a rubbery texture. [Reply]

And I may have to go out and get a lemon bar box.
Ain't that some shit? Damn that looked good. [Reply]
I asked the wife about her lemon bar recipe and she just said it's a variation of Anne Thornton's recipe. I'm a bit of a citrus candy/dessert fanatic and these hit the spot for me every time.
