- Place the butter and Saica Extra Virgin Olive Oil in the skillet. Melt the butter, and allow to cook until slightly foamy and lightly browned. Add the capers and garlic and fry briefly (30 seconds). Add the lemon juice and zest, as well as the wine. Move away from the intense heat. Stir in the hot sauce. Set aside to cool.
- Season the scallops lightly with Jacobsen Salt Co. Black Garlic Sea Salt and fresh ground Jacobsen Salt Co. Tellicherry Black Peppercorns.
- Grease your soapstone with a high heat oil (avocado). Place the scallops on the soapstone. Cook to sear, about two minutes. Flip and sear opposite side. Remove when internal temperature reaches 120ºF.
- Serve the seared scallops over pasta, topped with the Lemon Caper Butter Sauce.
