Note 1: Sea Scallops are larger and are a fabulous substitute. We generally use 3-4 scallops per serving. They sear for about 2 minutes per side
Note 2: I usually use unsalted butter for cooking and baking because I prefer to control the salt content. Salted butter can be used and be sure to taste the sauce before adding any additional sauce.
Note 3: The scallops and bacon produce natural salt flavors. Taste the sauce before serving. If needed, add additional salt, .
Variations:
- One pound of large shrimp can be used, peeled and deveined. Same cooking times, about 3 minutes per side. The shrimp will be pink when cooked through.
- Use your favorite long pasta such as linguine or fettuccini.
- Herbs can change the flavor. Use your favorites such as basil, oregano, or thyme.
