Capesante In Padella Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Marinara Sauce

   In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

2. 2

   Cook the Cherry Tomatoes

   Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften and burst, stirring occasionally.

3. 3

   Season the Sauce

   Add salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to the tomato mixture. Stir well to combine and let simmer for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in chopped fresh basil.

4. 4

   Cook the Scallops

   In a separate skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the scallops and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan.

5. 5

   Serve

   Plate the scallops and generously spoon the marinara sauce over them. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
