SEARED SCALLOP PASTA WITH BURST TOMATOES AND HERBS
Although usually designated as a "something special" ingredient, scallops make a perfect weeknight dinner because they cook in minutes. To get a good, crisp sear, be patient (it's hard for us, too) and let the pan get quite hot before adding the scallops. Once you do, leave them alone to ensure a deeply golden crust. Toss them with pasta and candy-colored cherry tomatoes that burst and get coaxed into a jammy sauce. Finish with a showering of fresh, tender herbs and a drizzle of olive oil.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of well-salted water (2 heaping tablespoons kosher salt to about 7 quarts water) to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 1/2 cups pasta cooking water, then drain pasta.
- Wipe out the pot and heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium. Add the shallots and cook until they begin to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to burst, 5 to 7 minutes. Add about 1/3 cup reserved pasta water, and press the tomatoes gently with the back of a spatula or wooden spoon to get them nice and jammy. Stir in the garlic and red-pepper flakes, if using, and cook, allowing the sauce to simmer, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
- Season the scallops well on both sides with salt and pepper. In a 12-inch skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over high. When the oil shimmers, add the scallops, working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, and cook until golden brown and crisp, flipping once, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- Add the pasta, 1 1/2 cups herbs and 1/4 cup reserved pasta water to the pot with the tomatoes and toss to coat, adding additional pasta water if needed. Divide the pasta among shallow bowls and top with scallops. Garnish with additional herbs and a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH PANCETTA, OKRA AND CAPERS PASTA
Steps:
- Boil water and add pasta to cook while the rest of the meal is prepared. Cook Pancetta slices until crispy. Remove from pan and set off to the side. Slice okra into 1/4 inch pieces. Cook the okra in the rendered pancetta fat. Cook only for a minute or two (until the okra has a brighter green color, but not so much that it's wilted). Put off to the side. Add two tablespoons of olive oil to the pan. Heat oil until it is very hot but not smoking. Add the scallops (washed and patted dry). Cook for 5-7 minutes total, flipping midway through. Shake off any excess olive oil from the scallops. Toss together the okra, pancetta, scallops and add in the capers. Coat with a light lemon juice. Drain the pasta. In a bowl, add the last remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the balsamic vinager. Finally, addin the scallops, okra, capers mixture. Toss well. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:
- Season the scallops on both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, melt together 1 tablespoon butter and the olive oil over high heat. When the butter has melted, add the scallops to the pan and sear, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown on both sides and nearly opaque all the way through, 3-4 minutes total. Divide the scallops between 2 plates and return the skillet to medium-high heat.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet. Add the shallots and garlic. Cook, stirring, until softened and lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the capers and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the wine and cook, stirring, until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and add the remaining tablespoon of butter, swirling the pan until it melts into the sauce. Season the sauce with salt and pepper, then spoon it over the scallops. Serve hot.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Cut the orange corals from the scallops and finely chop them. Halve the white scallops to make 2 fat pieces and roll them up in the strips of prosciutto.
- Cook the pasta in salted water following pack instructions - it should only take about 4 mins. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large, deep sauté pan and sear the scallops for 1-2 mins, to brown the prosciutto and lightly cook the scallop inside. Lift from the pan onto a warm plate and leave to rest.
- Add the garlic to the pan juices and fry, stirring, until golden. Tip in the chopped corals and thyme, and stir-fry for a few mins more. Add the lemon zest, juice and vermouth, let it bubble down to at least half, then toss in the parsley. Drain the pasta and add to the pan with salt and plenty of black pepper, then toss to make sure the strands are well coated. Add the prosciutto-wrapped scallops and serve drizzled with a little extra oil, if you like.

- Cook pasta just under al dente according to package directions. Be sure to reserve approximately 1/2 - 1 cup pasta water. While pasta cooks, begin making the sauce and let the scallops come to room temperature.
- Add 3 TBSP butter to a large skillet over medium-low heat and let the butter melt. Add the thinly sliced garlic cloves and let cook for 2-4 minutes until garlic becomes slightly tender, being careful to not burn them. Add salt, pepper, and a dash of red pepper flakes as desired. Stir in flour until combined completely and cook for an additional minute, continuing to stir so it doesn't burn. Stir in milk and vegetable stock until combined and bring to a low simmer.
- Pat scallops dry and generously coat with salt and pepper on the tops and bottoms. As the sauce finishes cooking, heat a smaller stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 TBSP butter and let melt.

- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rapid boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain. Toss pasta with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.Tip: If you forget to reserve the pasta water before draining, you can use chicken broth for the sauce.
- While the pasta is cooking, remove the thawed scallops from the fridge and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. If the scallops have the muscle on the side, remove it. With a few more paper towels, pat the scallops completely dry. Season liberally with salt and pepper.
- Place a large skillet over medium high heat. Once hot, add the 2 tablespoons of oil to the pan. When the oil is shimmering, but not smoking, add the scallops, keeping them about an inch apart (cook in two batches if necessary). Cook scallops for about 2 minutes, without moving or touching them. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Transfer scallops to a clean plate and set aside. Tip: The first side that was seared will have the nicest golden colour so keep that side up on the plate, and when you serve them.
- Reduce the heat to medium low and add 2 tablespoons of the butter to the skillet, plus another drizzle of olive oil. Stir in the garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Add the wine to the pan scraping up the browned bits at the bottom of the pan. Cook the wine until slightly reduced, about 1 to 2 minutes.
