Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Cook Linguine

   In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Prepare Scallops

   Pat the sea scallops dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

3. 3

   Sauté Scallops

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove scallops from the skillet and set aside.

   Make Sauce

   In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Carefully pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes until reduced by half.

   Combine and Serve

   Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the cooked linguine to the skillet. Toss to coat the pasta in the sauce. Return the scallops to the skillet, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
