Ingredients
-
1 lb Bay Scallops
-
1 lb Linguine Pasta
-
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
-
6 Tbsp Butter
-
¼ Cup Dry White Wine
-
4 Cloves Garlic, Minced
-
2 Tbsp Coastal Breeze
-
½ Tsp Red Pepper Flakes
-
½ Zest and Juice of a Lemon
-
¼ Cup Fresh Parsley, Rough Chopped
Directions
Cook the linguine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve ¾ cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the scallops to the skillet in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are lightly browned. Remove scallops from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in the dry white wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer for a few minutes until the wine slightly reduces.
Add the Coastal Breeze seasoning, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, lemon juice, and ½ a cup of the reserved pasta water. Stir to combine and simmer for 3 minutes.
Turn off heat and remaining 5 tablespoons of cold butter and let it melt into the sauce. Whisking to emulsify the sauce.
Return the cooked scallops and cooked linguine to the skillet and toss gently to coat in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add remaining reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached. If the sauce is too thin, slightly simmer to reduce liquid and let sit for a few minutes to thicken.
Stir in the chopped parsley and season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
