Alton, you are my hero. This was spot on! I used old bay seasoning as well (you had used it with the brined shrimp for an app. They were so amazing. I do have a question; i used my cast iron pan - I am wondering what difference it would have made to use a sauté pan? I also made a buerre blanc sauce and fingerling potatoes....I licked my potatoe fingers!!!!!
thank you!

You don't often see the adjective "perfect" included in so many reviews of one dish; but for this recipe, it's the word that fits. I've always left seared scallops to restaurant chefs, but no more. These were delectable.

Perfect! I always thought searing scallops was hard. Until this. It turned out perfect and really did $13 a pound scallops right. The simpler the better. Thank you Alton.

Perfect and simple scallops. I was looking for a nice sauce to plate under my scallops. I went with giada's recipe "filet mignon and red wine sauce". I used her sauce recipe but also added 1/4 cup light cream to thicken. I spooned some on a plate, topped with my seared scallops a la alton brown and served spaghetti with olive oil and fresh parsley on the side. amazing...

I have tried to prepared seared scallops a number of times, but have always been dissatisfied with the results until now. Tonight I fixed some bacon wrapped sea scallops for my wife and I. I first partially cooked the bacon, wrapped the bacon around the scallops, securing the bacon with toothpicks, and then used Alton Brown's technique on the searing. What emerged was a seared scallop as good as we have had in any restaurant! Many thanks.

I was always under the impression that searing scallops was no easy task, however this recipe was not only uncomplicated but down right delicious.

made this last evening using jumbo scallops and the result was just perfect. A little fresh lemon and tabasco added right before serving. Delicious!
