From mark bitman's the best recipes in the world.
Steps
Dry scallops gently with paper towel.
Heat oil in medium pan.
Add butter.
While butter melts , dredge each scallop in flour on both sides.
When butter is starting to foam , add scallops to pan.
Cook until scallops are barely browned on both sides and starting to feel firm , about 1-2 minutes per side for the initial browning.
(this will depend on the thickness of your scallops.
When both sides are browned slightly , add garlic.
Lower heat a little.
Season with salt and pepper as desired , and cook about 2 minutes more.
