List of Ingredients




1 pound vermicelli
4 tablespoons butter
1 pound scallops
Juice and zest of 2 oranges
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
Salt and pepper to taste


Recipe



1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions.

2. While the pasta is cooking, heat the butter in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and cook 4 to 5 minutes, until white and firm. Add the orange juice, zest, and thyme.

3. Drain the pasta, turn it into a serving dish, add the scallops and sauce, and toss well to coat. Season with salt and pepper.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.

A comment from a cook at Family.com: “Sea scallops are larger than bay scallops and the cooking time will differ depending on the size of the scallops. If you purchase the larger scallops, you can cut them in half so they will cook faster. This pasta has very sophisticated flavors--your family and friends will never guess how easy it was to make!”
