Savory Sea Scallops and Angel Hair Pasta image

This is a very simple, easy to prepare meal that you will most likely be asked to prepare again. The taste, if carefully prepared and not overcooked, is incredible. ENJOY!

Provided by JIM F.

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Scallops

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
¼ cup butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds sea scallops, rinsed and patted dry
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese to taste

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.

Tarragon Lime Bay Scallops Over Angel-Hair Pasta image

Categories     Citrus     Pasta     Shellfish     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Summer     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 generous servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 lb dried angel-hair pasta (capelli d'angelo)
1 1/2 lb bay scallops or quartered sea scallops, tough muscle removed from side of each if necessary
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, or to taste
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh tarragon, or to taste

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking water, then drain pasta in a colander.
  • While pasta is cooking, pat scallops dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté half of scallops, stirring, until golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Cook remaining scallops in remaining 3 tablespoons butter in same manner. Return first batch of scallops to skillet and stir in lime juice and tarragon.
  • Toss pasta in a bowl with half of scallops and 1/4 cup pasta cooking water. Top pasta with remaining scallops and sauce and season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Scallop Selection: Choose dry, plump scallops that have a slightly briny smell. Avoid any scallops that are slimy or have an off odor.
  • Proper Searing: Sear the scallops in a hot pan with a little bit of oil until they are golden brown and have a slight crust. This will help to lock in their flavor and prevent them from becoming rubbery.
  • Don't Overcook: Scallops cook very quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. They should be cooked until they are just opaque in the center, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Deglaze the Pan: After searing the scallops, deglaze the pan with a little bit of white wine or lemon juice. This will help to dissolve any browned bits and add flavor to the sauce.
  • Sauce Options: There are many different sauces that you can serve with scallops. Some popular options include a simple butter sauce, a lemon-butter sauce, or a white wine sauce.
  • Garnish: Garnish the scallops with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, before serving.

Conclusion:

Scallops with Angel Hair Pasta is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The scallops are seared until golden brown and then served over a bed of angel hair pasta that has been tossed in a creamy sauce. This dish is sure to impress your guests and is a great way to enjoy the delicate flavor of scallops.
