Steps:
- In a large heavy-bottomed skillet, heat the oil and half of the butter over medium-high heat until mixture starts to brown.
- MAKE SURE THE PAN AND OIL MIXTURE IS VERY HOT - Transfer half of the scallops to the skillet and cook WITHOUT MOVING until seared: ABOUT 20 - 30 SECONDS. Gently flip and sear on other side for another 20 - 30 SECONDS. Remove from skillet; add remaining scallops and butter. Cook in the same manner as the first batch.
- Once the second batch of scallops is finished cooking, return the first batch to the skillet and give a quick, gentle toss. Remove skillet from heat.
- Add the garlic, lemon juice, wine and cappers. Season with salt and pepper. Give a gentle toss and place scallops on a warmed serving platter. Garnish with parsley and lemon zest. Serve immediately.
- Serve with crusty Italian or French bread for dipping in the garlic-butter sauce. This dish pairs nicely with steamed fresh asparagus or zucchini.
- COOK'S TIP: Scallops contain a lot of water that will gush out once they get hot - THEY NEED A LOT OF HEAT APPLIED QUICKLY. Never crowd the scallops when cooking, otherwise they will steam instead of sear.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package directions for al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water, then drain the pasta.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the scallops with salt and pepper. Add the scallops to the skillet, raise the heat to high and sear until golden brown and just firm, 1 to 2 minutes per side; transfer to a plate.

Add the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Add the cooked pasta and parsley to the skillet and toss to combine. Add a little of the reserved pasta cooking water to help thin out the sauce so it evenly coats the pasta. Divide the pasta evenly into bowls and top each with some scallops.

DECADENTLY CREAMY SHRIMP AND SCALLOP SCAMPI WITH ORZO
I found myself without a car today and had to come up with dinner from things in the freezer and pantry. A quick inventory was pointing me in the direction of scampi but I wanted something a bit different. This is still very garlicky and yet the creamy cheesy sauce makes it somewhat comforting and very decadent. Served it with some steamed broccoli and crusty bread.

Steps:
- first, get your sautee pan ready. it's best to use a deeper sautee pan, or slightly larger frying pan (to hold sauce). fill another pot with water over medium-high heat for your pasta. add oil to sautee pan and heat the pan over medium heat.
- lightly coat your rinsed scallops in the flour. once the pan is hot, carefully place the scallops in the pan. REMEMBER: the less you touch them, the better browning you get!
- leave scallops alone for a few minutes until they are golden on the bottom. (flip a scallop over to test) cook on other side for another 4 minutes. remove scallops once they are firm and golden. set aside on plate with a paper towel.
- drain some of the left over olive oil and add the garlic and onions (if you're not using a non-stick pan, this will help scrape the yummy drippings on the bottom!) sautee the garlic and onions until slightly transparent and add: italian seasoning, oregano, salt and pepper.
- when your water is boiling, HEAVILY salt the water and add pasta. stir to avoide sticking.
- add the wine to the onion mixture and reduce heat to low. cover pan. leave covered for about 5-7 minutes.
- when the sauce is slightly bubbling, add the cream and keep stirring. add a couple ladle-fulls of pasta water to the sauce to get an even creamier consistency. add scallops back into sauce and turn heat off.
- once pasta is cooked, drain immediately and plate.
- ladle equal amounts on each plate and distribute the scallops (don't be too greedy!). sprinkle with parsely and freshly grated parmesan cheese.
- you can squeeze some fresh lemons for a nice spritz. enjoy!

Tips:
- Use high-quality scallops. For the best results, use large, sea scallops. Dry scallops can also be used, but they will not be as tender.
- Cook the scallops properly. Sear the scallops over high heat for a few minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcook the scallops, or they will become tough.
- Use a flavorful scampi sauce. The scampi sauce is what really makes this dish special. Use a sauce that is made with fresh herbs, garlic, and white wine.
- Serve the scampi over pasta or rice. Scampi is traditionally served over linguine or angel hair pasta, but you can also serve it over rice or your favorite side dish.
- Garnish the scampi with fresh herbs. Before serving, garnish the scampi with fresh herbs such as parsley, basil, or chives. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
Conclusion:
Scallop scampi is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With its tender scallops, flavorful sauce, and simple preparation, scallop scampi is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a seafood dish to impress your friends and family, give scallop scampi a try.
