Ensure the scallops are thoroughly patted dry before searing to achieve a beautiful golden-brown crust. Do not overcrowd the skillet; work in batches to ensure even browning. For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the lemon-wine sauce. Serve immediately over pasta, risotto, or alongside a fresh green salad for a complete meal. A knob of butter whisked into the sauce at the end adds richness and shine.
