1-1/2 c small button mushrooms
1/2 c frozen or fresh peas
2-1/2 tsp kosher or sea salt, divided
1/2 tsp seafood seasoning or rub
1/4 c chopped shallots
6 Tbsp unsalted butter, divided

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 c chopped parsley plus more for garnish
2 Tbsp grapeseed oil
1 Tbsp capers, drained and rinsed
1 tsp lemon zest, grated

Steps:

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.

Savory Sea Scallops and Angel Hair Pasta image

This is a very simple, easy to prepare meal that you will most likely be asked to prepare again. The taste, if carefully prepared and not overcooked, is incredible. ENJOY!

Provided by JIM F.

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Scallops

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
¼ cup butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds sea scallops, rinsed and patted dry
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese to taste

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the angel hair pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and cook just until fragrant and softened, about 1 minute. Slice any scallops over 3/4-inch thick in half so they'll cook evenly; stir scallops, basil, and parsley into the skillet. Cook and gently stir just until scallops feel slightly firm when pressed with a finger, 2 to 3 minutes. Scallops will become tough and chewy if overcooked. Stir in lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper. Pour in cream if you like a thicker sauce. Bring the mixture just to a bare simmer.
  • Serve over hot angel hair pasta; sprinkle to taste with Parmesan cheese.

ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH SCALLOPS AND ARUGULA



Angel Hair Pasta With Scallops and Arugula image

This recipe is from the Williams-Sonoma Collection series, Pasta, by Erica De Mane. A note about capers: Purchase capers packed in salt. They have a sweet, floral fragrance, as opposed to sharp-tasting brine-packed varieties (the vinegar variety changes the flavor of the caper). Ask for them at Italian specialty-food stores. To prepare salted capers, soak them in cool water for about 15 minutes, changing the water once or twice, to remove excess salt. Give them a final rinse and drain well. Estimated prep and cook time combined is 35-40 minutes.

GARLIC ANGEL HAIR SHRIMP



Garlic Angel Hair Shrimp image

This was inspired by one of my favorite restaurant pasta dishes. I keep the lemon separate until the end due to a picky family member, but you could add it earlier if everyone likes lemon. Do not use pre-cooked shrimp and don't overcook the shrimp.

Valuable Tips for Making Angel Hair with Bay Scallops, Shrimp, and Arugula Recipes

Making angel hair pasta with bay scallops, shrimp, and arugula is a healthy and delicious dish that is easy to prepare. However, there are certain tips and techniques that you need to keep in mind to make sure that the dish turns out perfect. Below are some valuable tips for making angel hair with bay scallops, shrimp, and arugula recipes.
1. Thaw the seafood properly
One of the most important tips for making this dish is to thaw the seafood properly. If you are using frozen shrimp and scallops, you need to thaw them in the refrigerator overnight, or you can place them in a bowl of cold water for a few hours to defrost. Never use hot water or the microwave to thaw the seafood, as this can cook the shrimp and scallops and make them tough and rubbery.
2. Cook the pasta al dente
When cooking the angel hair pasta, make sure to cook it al dente, which means "to the tooth". This is a crucial step, as overcooked pasta can become mushy and lose its texture. To cook the pasta al dente, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil, add the pasta, and cook for about 4-5 minutes, or according to the package instructions. Test the pasta from time to time, and when it has a slight resistance when you bite it, it is done.
3. Do not overcook the seafood
Another important tip for making this dish is not to overcook the seafood. Bay scallops and shrimp cook very quickly, and can become rubbery and tough if cooked for too long. To cook the seafood, heat some olive oil in a pan, add the shrimp and scallops, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them, and remove them from the pan as soon as they are done.
4. Use fresh arugula
Fresh arugula is an essential ingredient in this dish, and adds a peppery and slightly bitter taste to it. When choosing arugula, look for firm, bright-green leaves, and avoid any that look wilted, yellowed, or have black spots. Wash the arugula thoroughly under running water, and dry it well before using.
5. Add the arugula at the last minute
To preserve the texture and flavor of the arugula, it is best to add it at the last minute, just before serving. This will prevent the leaves from wilting, and ensure that they are crisp and fresh. When ready to serve, simply add the arugula to the pasta and seafood, toss gently, and serve immediately.
6. Use high-quality ingredients
The quality of the ingredients you use will greatly affect the taste and flavor of the dish. When making angel hair with bay scallops, shrimp, and arugula, make sure to use high-quality pasta, fresh seafood, and organic arugula. Choose ripe tomatoes, fresh garlic, and extra-virgin olive oil for a richer taste.
7. Season the dish well
Seasoning is an essential part of making this dish, and can greatly enhance its flavor. Use sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to season the dish, and add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. You can also add some grated Parmesan cheese for a richer taste.
8. Experiment with different variations
Finally, don't be afraid to experiment with different variations of this dish. You can add other vegetables, such as zucchini, bell peppers, or mushrooms, or use different types of seafood, such as clams, mussels, or lobster. You can also try different types of pasta, such as spaghetti or linguine. The possibilities are endless, and you can create a new and delicious dish every time.
