Cooking Instructions

Wash the scallops gently and pat dry with some paper towel. In a large resealable plastic bag or a bowl, add scallops; sprinkle lemon juice and seasoning salt over the scallops and toss to coat.

Drain well, and pat dry (be sure that they are well dried before cooking, so the surface sears, rather than steams).
