Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Pappardelle pasta
- 1 pound Sea scallops
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 whole Shallots (finely chopped)
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 whole Lemon (zested and juiced)
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Pat the sea scallops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and season lightly with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pappardelle pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the scallops in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the scallops from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the same skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and chopped shallots, cooking for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Simmer the sauce for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
Return the cooked pappardelle to the skillet and gently toss to coat the pasta in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add the reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Fold the seared scallops into the pasta, ensuring they are evenly distributed. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed.
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your Pappardelle with Scallops Guy Fieri-style!
