Steps:
- Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat.
- In the meantime, pat the scallops very dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle the sea scallops with salt and pepper, to season.
- When the pan is hot, add the oil, then drop in your scallops, giving them enough room in between so they don't steam each other. The scallops should make a sizzling noise when you put them in the pan.
- Cook the scallops for 2 minutes, making sure not to move them or touch them at all.
- Flip the scallops over with a pair of tongs, and add the butter to the pan. Let the scallops cook for 1 more minute, basting the scallops with the butter.
- Remove the scallops from the pan and serve!

Steps:
- Remove the small side muscle from the scallops, rinse with cold water and thoroughly pat dry.
- Add the butter and oil to a 12 to 14-inch saute pan on high heat. Salt and pepper the scallops. Once the fat begins to smoke, gently add the scallops, making sure they are not touching each other. Sear the scallops for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. The scallops should have a 1/4-inch golden crust on each side while still being translucent in the center. Serve immediately.
