Seared Scallops with Avocado-Parmesan Vegetable Spaghetti



After enjoying this wonderful dinner, we had quite a bit of leftover spaghetti. The next day I ate that cold. It was such a refreshing dish on a hot summery day with the fresh tomatoes, avocados, and basil! 


Ingredients:

- 1 cup (tightly packed) fresh basil, chopped
- 3 Tbs almond slivers
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan
- 1/2 tsp. salt and pepper 
- 1 tomato, chopped
- 1 avocado, chopped
- About 4 to 6 oz. vegetable spaghetti
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 Tbs butter
- 1/2 lb. sea scallops
- 1/4 tsp. Old Bay Seasoning

Add basil, almonds, garlic, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, tomato, and avocado in a bowl. Toss lightly. Set side. 

Cook spaghetti per instructions on the box. Drain and let cool slightly. Stir in olive oil. Add the basil mixture and combine.

Add butter to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat sea scallops with a paper towel to soak up any moisture. Sprinkle Old Bay Seasoning over sea scallops. Sear sea scallops for about 2 minutes on both sides. Remove to a plate.

Add spaghetti to a plate and arrange scallops on top. Garnish with a little more fresh basil and enjoy! If you'd like a printer-friendly version of this recipe, Click Here.
