Ensure the scallops are thoroughly drained to prevent a watery sauce.
For a richer flavor, brown the butter slightly before mixing it with the wine and lemon juice. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Serve immediately with rice pilaf, quinoa, or a crisp green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
Feel free to adjust the amount of lemon juice to your preference. A squeeze of fresh lemon zest adds extra brightness.
If you don't have dry white wine on hand, you can substitute with chicken broth or seafood stock.
