This Scallop Linguine is a ten/10. It turned out even higher than I imagined it might. One thing magical occurs to the lemon-garlic sauce if you deglaze the pan, absorbing all of the seared scallop goodness. I’m drooling simply interested by it!
I mixed two of my favourite issues to create this recipe: seared scallops and my Beneath the Sea Pasta. Hilariously, this dish tastes nothing like my Beneath the Sea Pasta, as the method of searing the scallops in butter after which deglazing the pan to seize the scallop essence provides the sauce a wonderful nutty, toasty, browned butter taste that’s completely completely different from the intense lemon taste of the unique recipe.
Use your favourite dry white wine, one thing you wish to drink. Kuhlman Cellars‘ Viognier was completely excellent on this dish and in my glass! Are you able to substitute the wine on this recipe? Completely. You need to use hen broth when you don’t wish to prepare dinner with wine.
I used 18 dry scallops for this recipe, particularly the wild caught Alaskan Weathervane Scallops I picked up from Savory Alaska on the farmers market. I’m ruined now. These are really the very best scallops I’ve ever bought! Dry scallops seem smaller if you buy them however they don’t shrink when cooking.
