Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- While you're waiting for your pasta water to boil. Season scallops with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once butter melts, place scallops in pan. Cook, turning once until scallops are browned, about 3 - 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, loosely cover to keep scallops warm. (Note: You may need to do this step in batches, you do not want to over crowd the scallops or they will steam and won't get the color you want.) Reserve pan juices.
- If you haven't already, begin cooking pasta. Cook according to pasta directions. Drain.
- While pasta is cooking add garlic to scallop pan, reduce heat to medium, cook 20 seconds or until fragrant. Pour in wine, capers and lemon juice. Scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until sauce reduces by 1/3 about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Swirl until butter melts. Stir in fresh parsley.
- Divide pasta evenly among heated pasta bowls. Place 5 scallops on top of the pasta. Pour sauce over the top. Serve.

SAVORY SEA SCALLOPS AND ANGEL HAIR PASTA
Steps:
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the angel hair pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and cook just until fragrant and softened, about 1 minute. Slice any scallops over 3/4-inch thick in half so they'll cook evenly; stir scallops, basil, and parsley into the skillet. Cook and gently stir just until scallops feel slightly firm when pressed with a finger, 2 to 3 minutes. Scallops will become tough and chewy if overcooked. Stir in lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper. Pour in cream if you like a thicker sauce. Bring the mixture just to a bare simmer.
- Serve over hot angel hair pasta; sprinkle to taste with Parmesan cheese.

ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH SCALLOPS AND ARUGULA
This recipe is from the Williams-Sonoma Collection series, Pasta, by Erica De Mane. A note about capers: Purchase capers packed in salt. They have a sweet, floral fragrance, as opposed to sharp-tasting brine-packed varieties (the vinegar variety changes the flavor of the caper). Ask for them at Italian specialty-food stores. To prepare salted capers, soak them in cool water for about 15 minutes, changing the water once or twice, to remove excess salt. Give them a final rinse and drain well. Estimated prep and cook time combined is 35-40 minutes.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Fresh sea scallops are essential, of course, but don't forget about the other ingredients as well. Use good-quality olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and freshly chopped parsley.
- Don't overcook the scallops. Scallops are very delicate and cook quickly. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery. Cook them for just a few minutes per side, or until they are opaque and slightly browned.
- Use a hot skillet. This will help to sear the scallops and prevent them from sticking. Make sure the skillet is hot before you add the scallops. You can test the temperature by flicking a drop of water into the skillet. If the water sizzles and evaporates immediately, the skillet is hot enough.
- Don't crowd the skillet. If you overcrowd the skillet, the scallops will not cook evenly. Cook the scallops in batches if necessary.
- Season the scallops with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best served hot. They can be served over pasta, rice, or vegetables. You can also add a simple salad or some crusty bread.
Conclusion:
Scallop piccata is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of tender scallops, tangy lemon sauce, and flavorful capers is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a seafood dish that is both impressive and delicious, give scallop piccata a try. You won't be disappointed.
