SEARED SCALLOPS
The first thing to know before making this recipe--which is barely even a recipe, more of a technique for a simple and elegant dish--is to take down your smoke alarm. Okay, maybe don't do that, because it's unsafe. But definitely open the windows and turn on a fan, because you need to have a screaming-hot pan to achieve beautifully sweet sea scallops with a perfectly caramelized sear. A pro kitchen is equipped with 30,000 BTUs of gas and indestructible stainless-steel pans, and we're not afraid to use them. Gird your loins, turn up the heat, and you'll have a chance of capturing scallop magic at home.

Steps:
- Place a layer of paper towels on top of a large plate or baking sheet and gently lay the sea scallops on top to rid them of any excess moisture. With the scallops still on the paper towel, grab a large pinch of kosher salt and sprinkle it from a foot or more over the scallops. The height will help distribute the salt evenly.
- Use a pepper grinder to crack fresh black pepper in the same manner, getting every scallop.
- Flip the scallops and season the other side. This is important!
- Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed stainless-steel saute pan over high heat. Do not use nonstick-you'll never achieve the proper caramelization!
- Wait.
- Wait.
- Watch as the pan begins to smoke.
- Now, carefully, because the pan and oil are very hot, use tongs or your fingers to place each scallop individually in the pan, leaving room between them. Once the scallops are in the pan, do not move them or the pan or turn the heat down. You're going to want to, because the pan will be hot and splattering and smoking, but resist! You're getting your hard sear. Don't interfere or the scallops will stick.
- After 2 minutes, use a spatula or tongs to gently turn one of the scallops and assess how dark the sear is. If it's dark brown and caramelized, it's ready to be flipped and seared on the other side for at least 2 minutes more to achieve an identical sear.
- When the scallops have been flipped and seared on both sides, they're fully cooked and ready to eat. Remove them from the pan using tongs or a spatula. Add the butter to the pan and a squeeze of lemon juice and scrape up the bit on the pan to create a sauce. Serve the scallops hot and topped with the pan sauce and another squeeze of fresh lemon juice on top.

Steps:
- Remove the small side muscle from the scallops, rinse with cold water and thoroughly pat dry.
- Add the butter and oil to a 12 to 14-inch saute pan on high heat. Salt and pepper the scallops. Once the fat begins to smoke, gently add the scallops, making sure they are not touching each other. Sear the scallops for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. The scallops should have a 1/4-inch golden crust on each side while still being translucent in the center. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- 1. Put up a large, covered pot of water, about 2 quarts, on high to boil.
- 2. Clean the scallops and shrimp and pat dry. Season both sides with 1/2 tsp of the salt and the seafood seasoning and set aside for a few minutes
- 3. Melt 2 tbsp of butter in a small sauté pan or sauce pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and 1/4 tsp of the salt and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until they start to soften. Add the wine, turn the heat to medium low and simmer until ready.
- 4. In a separate sauté pan, melt 1 tbsp of butter over medium heat and add the mushrooms and a pinch (1/8 tsp) of salt. Cook until they start to soften, about 3 minutes and add the peas. Cook another 3 minutes. Drain the liquid and set aside
- 5. When the water is rapidly boiling, add all but 1/2 tsp of the salt to the boiling water and add the pasta. Cook for 2 minutes. Drain the pasta, pour out all but 1/2 cup of the water from your pasta pan, and return the pasta to the pot over low heat. Add 1 tbsp of butter, the remaining salt, the chopped garlic, the crushed red pepper flakes and 1/4 cup of chopped parsley and combine thoroughly. Stir in the mushrooms, capers and peas and keep warm.
- 6. In a hot sauté pan or cast iron skillet, add the oil. When the oil's shimmering, place the scallops in the pan. Depending on their size, cook for 2 to 2-1/2 minutes until is well seared, but not burnt. Turn the scallops over and then add the shrimp. Cook the shrimp for 1 minute on each side. During the last minute add 1 tablespoon of butter and baste the scallops and shrimp. Everything should be done at the same time. Remove from the heat to a warm plate.
- 7. During the last minute of cooking the scallops and shrimp, add the remaining tbsp of butter to the butter and wine sauce and let it melt.
- 8. Divide the pasta between two bowls, sprinkle on the lemon zest, arrange the scallops and shrimp on top of the pasta, divide the sauce between the 2 bowls, sprinkle on the remaining parsley and serve.
