Yeah, I get the "less is more" concept, but I was hankerin' for some NOLA BBQ sauce and this dish delivered. The recipe is copyrighted, but the sauce was basically 1 1/2 sticks butter, 1/2 cup Worcestershire, and some Cajun-y spices...
Recipes cannot be copyrighted. That’s why there is all the text and story surrounding them, and why cookbooks have changed from instruction manuals to life stories.
Damn I miss scallops. Used to love them, but I seem to have developed an allergy to them in my 30s, had a reaction to them, I think, the last 2 times I had them and I'm afraid to try them again. Other shellfish had been fine, fortunately. I met one other person with a scallop only allergy.
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.

While my favorite scallop seems to be the accepted norm (butter, hot griddle, quick cook time) who's to say you can't add BBQ-style seasonings, like cumin, chili pwd, tarragon, thyme, garlic, pepper, red pepper, etc. Anything you want, sky's the limit. I only caution about salt. Skip it unless you LOOOOOVE salt. Otherwise, like anything else with seasonings, or pizza toppings, you do you and then learn from what you done did!
My wife leans toward getting seared scallops when we go out for fancy dinners. Year after year I'd always get a steak or elk chops or something. Last year on our anniversary I decided I'd just finally order the scallops too since I'm always drooling at hers... the fancy schmancy place we go is a farm-to-table place so their menu changes, often nightly. Guess what they didn't have that night. Cue big eyeroll and audible scoff at the table. First world minor annoyances...
