Steps:
- Mix black pepper, white pepper, salt, mustard, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and thyme together. Dredge scallops in blackening spices.
- Melt 1/2 of the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until just tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate, cover, and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt remaining butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add scallops in a single layer and sear until browned on the outsides and opaque in the centers, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Cover and set aside.
- Drain pasta and place in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil. Add the mushroom mixture and tomato. Serve pasta in individual bowls; place scallops on top and drizzle with lemon juice.

BLACKENED SEA SCALLOPS
Steps:
- To make the tomato relish, put the tomatoes, red onion, green onions, vinegar, and olive oil in a medium bowl and mix gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
- To cook the sea scallops, combine the paprika, ancho and pasilla powders, white and black pepper, thyme, oregano, onion and garlic powders, and celery salt in a medium shallow bowl.
- Heat a large cast-iron pan over high heat until it begins to smoke. Brush the scallops on both sides with the oil and season with salt. Dredge one side of each scallop in the spice rub and put the scallops in the pan spice side down. Cook until browned and a crust has formed, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Turn the scallops over and continue to cook until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
- Divide the scallops among 4 large dinner plates, top each scallop with some of the tomato relish, drizzle with the vinaigrette, and sprinkle some green onion on top.
- GREEN ONION VINAIGRETTE
- Combine the vinegar, 1/4 cup water, the shallot, mayonnaise, and honey in a blender and blend until combined. Add the green onions and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. The vinaigrette can be prepared 4 hours in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before serving.

BLACKENED SEA SCALLOPS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat a skillet over high heat. Dredge scallops in spices and saute on both sides. Finish the cooking in the oven, for about 4 or 5 minutes.
- It is also wise to have all your windows open, and all your smoke alarms disconnected, considering the amount of smoke that this wonderful dish produces.
- Mix well. Store in glass or plastic container with lid.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality scallops: Look for scallops that are plump, firm, and have a fresh, briny smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have an off odor.
- Properly clean the scallops: Remove the side muscle from each scallop. This small, tough muscle is located on the side of the scallop and can be easily removed with a sharp knife. Rinse the scallops thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet: A heavy-bottomed skillet will help to evenly distribute heat and prevent the scallops from sticking. A cast iron skillet is a great option.
- Heat the skillet over high heat: The skillet should be very hot before you add the scallops. This will help to sear the scallops quickly and create a nice crust.
- Season the scallops simply: Salt and pepper are all you need to season the scallops. You can also add a little bit of garlic powder or paprika for extra flavor.
- Sear the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side: Sear the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. The scallops should be opaque and slightly firm to the touch.
- Serve the scallops immediately: Serve the scallops immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include melted butter, lemon butter sauce, or tartar sauce.
Conclusion:
Blackened scallops are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. By following these tips, you can make perfect blackened scallops at home. Whether you are serving them as an appetizer or a main course, blackened scallops are sure to impress your guests.
