Lemon Butter Scallops

One of my goals is to make more seafood recipes because they are certainly lacking on this blog. I’m really excited that I get to work with a company like Sizzle Fish that delivers wild caught seafood to your front door, and bonus: they’re Whole30 approved!
First up on the seafood recipe marathon are these delicious lemon butter scallops. I haven’t had scallops in the longest time because I just don’t trust the ones at the stores and ordering them at a restaurant can get really pricey. So you can imagine my excitement when I got two packages of wild caught scallops from Sizzle Fish.
