Step 1

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add bacon bits and cook for 6-8 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Drain all but 1 tablespoon of bacon fat.

Step 2

Dry the scallops with paper towel, season with salt and pepper. Heat the skillet until very hot, then add the olive oil. Sear the scallops for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Do this in batches so you don’t over crowd the pan. After scallops are cooked through, remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Allow the skillet to cool down to a medium heat, for about 10 minutes before adding some of the butter and shallots, or else you will burn them. Add shallots to the skillet with the butter with a pinch of salt. Cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add in garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 4

Add lemon juice, zest and white wine. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes, then add back the bacon bits. Stir in basil, parsley, and remaining butter to the sauce. Return scallops to the skillet to warm through. Garnish with parsley and basil. Enjoy!
