The Golden Rule
"Never overcrowd the pan! If you put too many scallops in at once, the pan's temperature drops, your scallops steam instead of sear, and we all cry."

Chef's Notes
Browning butter requires the patience of a saint and the reflexes of a ninja. Do not walk away from the stove for even a microsecond, or your liquid gold will instantly transform into bitter charcoal.
Pro Tip
Always buy 'dry' sea scallops instead of 'wet' ones. Wet scallops are treated with preservatives that make them retain water, making a crispy sear as impossible as teaching a cat to play the flute.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
You panic during the sear, constantly poke the scallops with a fork to check them, rip apart their delicate flesh, and end up serving a sad plate of shredded seafood debris that looks like a crime scene.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I told the scallops to stay still in the pan, but they just couldn't stop dancing.
