A note about serious food allergies

Shrimp scampi just rolls of the tongue as a something very familiar, something you know and love, maybe from several trips to a certain maroon-ish crustacean restaurant. This meal provides the same decadent richness, the same twirl-on-you-fork-pasta, but with sweet, delicate scallops instead. Is it better? Only you can be the judge. Tip: This recipe has a shallot, which sometimes is rough to mince. Easiest way to mince shallot? Make thin slices lengthwise, then slices across, resulting in minced shallot.

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Once water is boiling, add pasta and cook until al dente, 10-12 minutes.

    Reserve 1/4 cup pasta cooking water. Drain pasta in a colander. Set aside.

    While pasta cooks, prepare ingredients.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Peel and mince shallot.

    Halve ciabatta, if necessary.

    Mince garlic.

    Pat scallops dry, and season both sides with a pinch of pepper. Scallops will vary in amount as they are portioned by weight. Don't worry, the sweet flavor and tender texture will be the same.

  3. 3

    Cook the Scallops

    Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add scallops to hot pan and cook until scallops are browned and reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 1-2 minutes per side.

    Transfer to a plate.

    Wipe pan clean and reserve.

  4. 4

    Make the Garlic Bread

    Place ciabatta on prepared baking sheet, cut-side up. Drizzle with 1 tsp. olive oil and top evenly with half the garlic (reserve remaining for sauce) and a pinch of salt and pepper.

    Bake in hot oven until golden brown, 5-7 minutes.

    While ciabatta bakes, finish pasta.

  5. 5

    Finish Pasta and Finish Dish

    Return pan used to cook scallops to medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add shallot and remaining garlic to hot pan and cook until fragrant, 30-60 seconds.

    Add white wine and cook until mostly evaporated, 1-2 minutes.

    Add cream and reserved pasta cooking water and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, stir occasionally until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.

    Stir in Parmesan (reserve a pinch for garnish), peas, pasta, scallops, 1/2 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper until heated through, 30-60 seconds.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, garnishing with remaining Parmesan and red pepper flakes (to taste). Bon appétit!
