Steps:
- Remove the adductor muscle from the scallops, rinse with cold water and thoroughly pat dry. Place the scallops on a towel-lined-platter and bring to room temp.

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

- Add the butter and oil to a 12- to 14-inch saute pan over high heat. Carefully salt the scallops. Once the fat begins to bubble, gently add the scallops, making sure they are not touching each other. Sear the scallops until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Place the scallops on a plate and carefully spoon the sauce and citrus segments over top.
