Step 1
Pat the 12 scallops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Trim the 200g green beans and cut the 2 carrots into small dice. Halve the 150g cherry tomatoes.
Step 3
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the green beans and carrots, cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Add the 100g frozen peas and 150g cherry tomatoes, cook for 2 minutes until tomatoes soften. Transfer vegetables to a plate.
Step 5
In the same skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter over high heat. Place the scallops in a single layer, not touching.
Step 6
Sear scallops until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. They should feel firm but springy.
Step 7
Return vegetables to the skillet, add 1 tbsp butter and the juice of 1 lemon. Toss gently for 1 minute to coat.
Step 8
Serve immediately, spooning the buttery sauce over the scallops and vegetables.
