Ingredients

  • 1 lb sea scallops
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 ounces spaghetti squash
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup clam juice
  • 1/4 cup garlic (chopped)
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 2 tablespoons parsley

Method

  • Put a large pot of water on to boil.
  • Sprinkle scallops on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and add the scallops; cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, about 6 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
  • Cook spaghetti squash in an oven @ 450 degrees until mushy. Scoop pulp out when cool enough to handle.
  • Whisk wine and clam juice in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Cook garlic in the pan over medium-high heat, stirring often, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the wine mixture; bring to a boil and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, capers stir, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Return the scallops to the pan, add the spaghetti squash and cook, stirring gently, until heated through and coated with the sauce, about 1 minute. Stir in parsley and serve immediately.
