Tips:
- To ensure the scallops are cooked evenly, make sure they are all about the same size. If you have larger scallops, you can cut them in half.
- Sear the scallops over high heat to get a nice golden crust. This will help to lock in the flavor and prevent them from becoming tough.
- Don't overcook the scallops. They should be cooked through, but still slightly translucent in the center.
- Use a good quality white wine for the sauce. This will add a lot of flavor to the dish.
- If you don't have capers, you can substitute chopped olives or pickles.
- Serve the scallop piccata immediately over angel hair pasta. This dish is best enjoyed hot.
