Lemon 🍋 Garlic Butter 🧈Pasta with Scallops

Today I cooked scallops for the first time and it came out amazing! I really didn’t know what to expect seeing as I’ve never cooked scallops before. But everything came out great. I used this compound garlic herb butter that I got from @goldensteer and it was a complete time saver. This all came together really easy less than 20 minutes.

Ingredients

-Pasta of your choosing

-At least 4 frozen scallops with no antiobiotcs etc. (got mine from Wegmans)

-Pot of water

-Compound Garlic Herb Butter @goldensteer 🧄🌿

-Olive oil

-1 lemon

- Basil (optional)

Instructions

-Leave your butter out so that it’s room temperature and spreadable

-Put your pasta in boiling water for about 8 minutes or until the pasta is cooked to your liking

-While the pasta is boiling drizzle enough olive oil and to coat the pan and add a scoop of your compound butter into a skillet on medium heat

-Once the butter has spread, place the scallops in the pan and cook for 4 minutes each side or until golden brown

-Check on your pasta and drain the water once your pasta is ready and then put three spoonfuls or more your compound butter into the pot with your hot pasta. Continue to turn and mix the pasta until the butter is spread evenly throughout

- Serve your pasta and scallops together in a bowl or plate. Squeeze fresh lemon juice throughout the plate and garnish with basil if that’s your thing haha

*** Please note this recipe’s measurements aren’t 100% specific because it’s modifiable to how much butter, pasta, and scallops you want to use.
