• 50 g unsalted butter
• 4 tbsp of Maple Syrup
• 6 tbsp soy sauce
• Freshly ground pepper
• 2 tbsp black sesame seeds

Now, here are the few steps you will have to follow to make the Scallops in Maple Syrup with a preparation of 5 minutes and a cooking time of 6 minutes.

Start by washing and drying your scallops. Melt the butter in a large skillet and fry the barely salted scallops for about 1 minute on each side. Remove them from the pan. Set aside.

Pour in the syrup, soy sauce, pepper and boil for 3 minutes. Be aware that if overcooked they will be dry and rubbery, rather than juicy and silky in texture.
