SCALLOPS PICCATA
In case you're unfamiliar with Piccata Sauce, let me break it down for you. After you panfry a yummy, lean protein in butter you deglaze the pan with stock (I go with chicken stock) and fresh lemon juice and THEN you throw in delicious, salty, briny capers. This creates an intense pan sauce in literally under a minute.

Steps:
- A cast-iron skillet is ideal here but any pan will work really. Preheat your pan over medium-high heat and add in the butter and oil. When the fat has melted add the scallops and season lightly.
- Flip the scallops after 3 minutes (sooner if they're getting too dark), and again lightly season.
- Cook on the second side for 1 minute (still at medium-high heat).
- Transfer the scallops to a serving platter.
- Return the pan to the same heat and add in the lemon juice and stock, gently scrape the pan with a wooden spoon or spatula to release any flavours that may be there (deglazing).
- After the sauce has reduced by half (after about 30 seconds to a minute), turn the heat off the pan and add in the capers.
- Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Pour the sauce over the scallops on the serving platter.
- Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- While you're waiting for your pasta water to boil. Season scallops with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once butter melts, place scallops in pan. Cook, turning once until scallops are browned, about 3 - 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, loosely cover to keep scallops warm. (Note: You may need to do this step in batches, you do not want to over crowd the scallops or they will steam and won't get the color you want.) Reserve pan juices.
- If you haven't already, begin cooking pasta. Cook according to pasta directions. Drain.
- While pasta is cooking add garlic to scallop pan, reduce heat to medium, cook 20 seconds or until fragrant. Pour in wine, capers and lemon juice. Scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until sauce reduces by 1/3 about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Swirl until butter melts. Stir in fresh parsley.
- Divide pasta evenly among heated pasta bowls. Place 5 scallops on top of the pasta. Pour sauce over the top. Serve.
