A restaurant style scallop pasta dish that&#39;ll make you look like an absolute kitchen stud!

Lemon Garlic Scallop Pasta

linguini

scallops

salt and black pepper

olive oil (plus some for drizzling)

butter (divided)

garlic (chopped)

shallot (finely chopped)

red pepper flakes

thyme

white wine (Sauv Blanc)

seafood stock (chicken stock will work too)

basil (torn)

chives

lemon

Cook the pasta to package directions. Hold off on starting the scallops until you drop your pasta.

Remove the muscle from the scallops and pat dry with a paper towel pat. Season the scallops heavily with salt and pepper.

Preheat a large skillet (I like a cast iron skillet for this) over medium high heat. Add the olive oil, once shimmering, add scallops. Sear the scallops for 2-3 minutes on each side until super golden brown. The last minute, add 2 tablespoons of butter and baste the scallops, then remove from pan and tent loosely with foil to keep warm

Add an additional drizzle of olive oil to the skillet and add the garlic, shallots, crushed red pepper flakes, thyme, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium low and sauté garlic and shallots 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add wine to the pan and scrape up any pan drippings. Reduce the wine for 1 minute, then add seafood stock. Continue to cook for about 1 minute. Add the basil, chives, lemon zest and juice and the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and stir the mixture until the butter has melted. Add the cooked pasta and cook for about 30 seconds, just to combine and let the pasta soak up the sauce. Nestle the scallops back into the skillet to serve.

Scallop Linguine is an incredibly easy and fast pasta dish that brings together seared scallops and perfectly cooked linguine in a lemon garlic white wine sauce. This dish is elevated with the unique brininess of capers and anchovy fillets making it a delicious seafood pasta experience that is both elegant and comforting.

Let scallops sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before searing. Remove the tough muscle on the side of the scallop. See Note #2 below.

Thoroughly pat dry the scallops and salt and pepper each side.

Bring a large pot of water to boil. Once boiling generously salt the water. Cook pasta according to package instructions minus 1 minute. Note: The pasta will finish its cooking in the sauce.Wait to start searing the scallops until the pasta is cooking.

Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add approximately 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Once the oil starts to ripple and shimmer with a slightly wavy appearance add scallops. Sear for approximately 2 minutes per side or until a deeper golden brown sear develops. Remove scallops from pan onto a plate. Tent loosely with foil to keep warm.

Over the same heat add the remaining olive oil and butter.

Once butter is melted reduce heat to medium low and add shallots, anchovy fillets, capers and chili pepper flakes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes.

To the pan add the zest and garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds and then carefully pour in the juice, wine and 1/2 cup parsley. Bring to a simmer for about 2 minutes. See Note #3 below.

Transfer the slightly undercooked pasta to skillet pan along with 1/4 cup of pasta water. Continue cooking the pasta for about 1-2 minutes stirring frequently.

Turn off heat and toss in Parmigiano Reggiano and remaining parsley. Add scallops back to  the pan and serve immediatly.
