Melt butter and saute them?

Haven't done it in years

But I do remember you don't want to overcook them. 2 or 3 minutes per side.

That's exactly what I would do.

The regimen in my restaurant was to sear them on the flat top, 3 to an order, with a little salt and white pepper for seasoning. 2-3 minutes on both sides to get a nice sear and cook them most of the way through. How easily they pull is my indication when they're ready to flip. If they're not ready they'll stick and tear and become unattractive.

Totally agree with this....You actually don't 'cook' scallops...you sear them both sides and then let them 'rest 'like you do with quality meat. They should be barely cooked through the middle for luxuriant texture and seared for flavour.
