SWEET CORN AND SCALLOP PASTA
Scallops have a mildly briny, delicately nutty flavor that pairs extremely well with sweet corn. The key to properly cooked scallops is making sure they're very dry, then allowing them to cook, undisturbed, to caramelize. Chopping the seared scallops into tender morsels helps to infuse the pasta with rich seafood flavor, while fresh corn adds texture to complement them. The emulsification of pasta water, butter and cheese creates a silky sauce for a satisfying pasta meal that still feels light.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high. Cook pasta until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain pasta.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high. Season scallops with salt and pepper and add to skillet in a single layer. Cook, undisturbed, until golden underneath, about 2 minutes. Flip scallops and cook until golden on second side, 2 minutes longer. Transfer to a cutting board to cool.
- Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, corn and scallions to the skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add lemon juice and stir to lift up any browned bits on bottom of pan.
- While the corn cooks, chop the cooled scallops into 1/2-inch pieces. Return pasta, 1/2 cup of the pasta water, corn mixture, scallops and butter to the large pot and heat over medium. Cook, stirring vigorously, until most of the liquid is absorbed and the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in cheese and basil, and season with salt and pepper. (Add more pasta water if a thinner sauce is desired.)
- Divide pasta among bowls and garnish with more basil. Drizzle with olive oil, if desired.
SEARED SCALLOPS WITH CORN CREAM
This recipe for seared scallops on fresh corn cream shows that you can take a few seasonal ingredients, put them together simply and quickly, and produce something pretty special. There are three keys to producing sufficiently seared scallops. First, they must be perfectly dry. Second, the oil goes on the cold scallops, not in the hot pan. Third, your pan must be extremely hot, which means you have to use a very heavy, cast iron or stainless steel pan.

Steps:
- Stir corn kernels, chicken broth, 2 tablespoons butter, cayenne pepper, and salt together in a saucepan; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until corn is tender, about 5 minutes.
- Pour corn mixture into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth. Pour pureed corn mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a saucepan. Season with salt to taste.
- Toss scallops, Fresno pepper, canola oil, kosher salt, and smoked paprika in a bowl until scallops are completely coated. Separate pepper slices from scallops.
- Heat a large heavy skillet over high heat until very hot, about 5 minutes. Cook scallops in hot skillet until browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Cook and stir sliced peppers on the side of the skillet while the scallops are cooking.
- Remove skillet from heat; transfer scallops to a plate, leaving peppers in hot skillet. Stir water and 1 tablespoon butter into peppers until butter melts. Drizzle lemon juice over peppers; stir to glaze peppers completely.
- Divide corn cream between four bowls. Place 3 scallops over corn puree and top with glazed peppers. Garnish with radish sprouts.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 9 to 10 minutes, or according to package instructions. Drain pasta, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water, and set aside.
- Wipe out the pot, and heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add tomatoes, stirring occasionally, and cook until they start to burst, 5 to 7 minutes; crush some with the back of a spoon. Stir in white wine, olives, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper; reduce heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops all at once, coating with oil; don't move or shake the pan for 1 minute. Gently flip the scallops, and cook until firm and opaque, 1 to 2 minutes more. Add garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Do not overcook scallops.
- Add the pasta to the tomato mixture, toss to coat, and add reserved pasta water, if necessary. Divide the pasta mixture evenly among 4 shallow bowls and top with the scallops. Lightly drizzle with more olive oil, if desired, garnish with parsley, and serve.
