Bay Scallops and Spaghetti with Garlic and Shallots

I'm new to this whole seafood thing. Now that I like it however, I can't get enough! Scallops in particular are my favorite. This dish was super easy and delicious. Although fresh scallops are obviously preferable, I used frozen bay scallops from Trader Joes. Rather than defrost them for 6 hours in the fridge as they recommend, I placed them in a container with water and microwaved them for about 3 minutes. They worked out great. A bit of chopped parsley would probably make a great addition to this dish as well. Enjoy!

Ingredients
5 cloves of garlic, minced (less if you’re not obsessed with garlic like me)
2 large shallots, chopped
1 Lb Bay Scallops
1 Lb Spaghetti (or linguine, bucati, or other pasta)
1 Tbs garlice butter (or more, as needed. Regular butter would work well too)

Directions
Put a pot of water on to boil. Cook spaghetti until al dente. Mix with a drizzle of oil to keep from sticking before adding to pan.

Heat butter in a saute pan. Add garlic and shallots and cook until the garlic is slightly brown and shallots are translucent. Add the scallops and cook until cooked through, 5-10 minutes. Add the spaghetti and toss. Serve in a bowl and enjoy!
