Scallops with butter sauce on a bed of spinach

I am a huge fan of "Hell's Kitchen". I think I have seen all the seasons so far. And if they have one thing in common, that's the scallops recipe. I have never tasted scallops before, but I've seen them in the stores, so that is why I decided to buy and cook some!

I used:
- 250gr scallops
- 2 garlic cloves
- baby spinach leaves
- 80gr salted butter
- parsley
- juice from half a lemon



I defrosted the scallops and dried them off with a piece of cloth to absorb the water. I melted the butter in a pan with veeery little oil. I added the scallops and fried them on medium fire, 2-3 minutes on each side.



Add the garlic cut in small flakes, the chopped parsley and the lemon juice, and let them stay there for another 1-2 minutes, but not more.



Take out the scallops from the pan and add the baby spinach leaves. Cook them for 2-3 minutes or until they become soft.



On a plate I put the spinach, added the scallops on top and poured the sauce.



They are extremely tender, with a sweet and sour taste. They're worth a try!
