1 lb. sea or bay scallops
1/4 c. oil
Salt & pepper to taste
1 clove garlic, minced
Minced parsley, 1 tbsp. fresh
1/4 tsp. paprika

In a large skillet heat 1/2 of the oil. Add garlic and paprika and salt and pepper. Add scallops to pan without crowding. Cook quickly over high heat until golden brown, turning occasionally, about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove to a hot platter. Add more oil to pan if needed. Add parsley and lemon juice, heat thoroughly. Pour over scallops. Serve hot.
