1 tablespoon olive oil

2 pounds sea scallops, rinsed and patted dry
-
1 tablespoon brown sugar

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Melt 1/4 cup butter, 2 ounces bourbon, and olive oil together in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook sea scallops in hot butter-bourbon mixture until browned and just about cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer scallops to a plate and drain any excess liquid from the skillet.
