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.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are plump and have a slight briny smell. Avoid scallops that are discolored or have a strong fishy odor.
- Pat the scallops dry before cooking. This will help them sear properly and prevent them from steaming.
- Season the scallops simply with salt and pepper. You don't want to overpower the delicate flavor of the scallops.
- Sear the scallops in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the skillet, or the scallops will steam instead of sear.
- Add the cooked scallops to the pasta and sauce and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
- Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
