- Place a large pot of water over high heat and bring up to a boil for the pasta. Once at a boil add some salt and cook pasta to package directions. Hold off on starting the scallops until you drop your pasta.

- Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil, about 1 turn around the pan and 2 tablespoons of the butter. When butter melts into oil, add scallops. Brown scallops 2 minutes on each side, then remove from pan and cover 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, a little salt and pepper. Reduce heat a little and saute garlic and shallots 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add wine to the pan and free up any pan drippings. Reduce wine 1 minute, then add seafood stock. Continue to cook for about 1 minute. Add the basil, parsley, lemon zest and juice and the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, shake and stir the mixture until the butter has melted. Add the cooked linguini and cook for about 30 seconds, just to combine and let the pasta soak up the sauce.
- Divide the pasta between 2 serving plates and top with reserved scallops.
- For the side salad, in a bowl combine the arugula and tomatoes, drizzle with a little extra-virgin olive oil, a splash of balsamic vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and serve.

Tips:

- Choose High-Quality Ingredients: Using fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for scallops that are plump and have a briny smell. Avoid any that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
- Sear the Scallops Properly: Searing the scallops is an important step that helps to develop their flavor and color. Make sure your skillet is hot before adding the scallops and sear them for 1-2 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Don't Overcook the Scallops: Scallops are a delicate seafood and can easily be overcooked. Cook them just until they are opaque and firm to the touch, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Use a Good White Wine: The type of white wine you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the sauce. Choose a dry, crisp white wine that you would enjoy drinking on its own.
- Reduce the Sauce: Reducing the sauce will help to concentrate the flavors and give it a thicker, more luxurious texture. Simmer the sauce for 5-10 minutes, or until it has reduced by about half.
- Serve Immediately: Scallops are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are at their most tender and flavorful.
