Instructions

1 In a pan add water and salt and set to a boil. When boiling add the pasta and
cook until al dente.
2 In a smaller pan add the olive oil and begin to saute the shallot on low heat.
When they are translucent add in the butter and lemon juice and whisk everything
together. Add the salt and pepper and continue to whisk to emulsify.
3 When the pasta is done, whisk in a tablespoon or two of the pasta water, and
then add the drained pasta directly into the sauce pan. Add the capers and toss
everything around. Put a lid on the pan and set aside.
4 In another small pan add some neutral oil and turn the heat on max. Test if the
oil is hot enough by putting the tip of a wooden spoon in. If it bubbles your
oil is good.
5 Take your scallops and place the driest side directly onto the pan. Wait two
minutes, then flip and sear for another minute. Remove from the pan.
6 Add the pasta to a plate and nestle 5 scallops right onto the pasta. Garnish
with some chopped or ripped parsley, serve, and enjoy!
