Cooking Steps
Pat scallops dry with a paper towel, then dust one side with flour and season with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat until shimmery, then carefully place seasoned scallops in the pan, seasoned side down.
Cook without moving until browned, about 2 minutes.
While the first side browns, dust the unseasoned side with flour and season with salt and pepper.
Flip the scallops; if sticking, wait a few seconds and gently wiggle to release.
Add butter and minced garlic to the pan, swirling until butter melts.
Cook for another minute or two, then remove from heat, stir in basil leaves and lemon slices, and serve.
