Service
Heat oil on high heat until shimmering. Add scallops, cook 2 to 3 minutes on one side to sear. Add Yuzu Kosho Butter to skillet. Turn scallops; cook 1 to 2 minutes longer, basting frequently with melted butter until lightly browned and cooked through.

Chef's Tip!
Alternative cooking method: Set oven to 350°F. Slice Yuzu Kosho Butter into 12 thin slices. Place scallops in cleaned shells. Arrange on large, rimmed baking sheet. Top each scallop with a slice of butter. Bake 3 to 4 minutes or until butter is melted and bubbly and scallops are cooked through.
Alternative plating method: If serving scallops in the shell, add miso foam to bottom of shell and top each scallop with Yuzu Kosho and Edamame Crumble.
