Scallops in Brown Butter Sauce

Scallops are some of my favorite seafood to eat. Cooking them in brown butter makes them even better. Brown butter is regular butter cooked until the milk solids brown, giving the butter a nuttier flavor. Once you have browned the butter, scallops will only take a couple of minutes a side until a crust forms. Plate them up, pouring the remaining butter over the scallops. Finish off with Hawaiian pink salt. Truly a decadent treat for any occasion.
