    Gather your family and friends around a big bowl of Linguine with Caramelized Scallops and Broccoli. It's fun, it's festive, and a feast that's fit for a king!

    A large white bowl filled with Linguine with Caramelized Scallops and Broccoli along with grape tomatoes and Parmesan cheese.

    *Disclaimer - This recipe was originally published in 2015. I'm working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.

    Since I'm German (not Italian), seafood was never something we ate on Christmas Eve.

    Oh sure, there were always the chilled cocktail shrimp with sauce before dinner, but never an abundance of seafood courses, one after the next, building into a crescendo of an under-the-sea wave of culinary delights.

    Boy, did we miss out!

    It is with this recipe today that I am an honorary Italian, and I appreciate it more than you can know.

    Spero che ti piace questo piatto di Linguine con caramellate Capesante e broccoli. E 'il mio piacere di portare a voi, in questa stagione natalizia 2015.

    I hope you enjoy this dish of Linguine with Caramelized Scallops and Broccoli. It is my pleasure to bring it to you for this Christmas season.

    LINGUINE WITH CARAMELIZED SCALLOPS AND BROCCOLI   {PRINT THIS RECIPE}

    Serves: 6 -8      Prep Time:  15 minutes      Cook Time: 15 minutes

    1 pound linguine, cooked according to package directions, drained and kept warm
    4 cups fresh broccoli florets
    1 pound medium sea scallops, thawed (if frozen) and thoroughly dried with paper towels
    Salt and pepper to season scallops
    2 tablespoons light-colored oil (I used walnut but canola works well also)
    4 tablespoons butter, divided
    1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    ½ cup white wine
    pinch red pepper flakes (if desired)
    1 teaspoon ground ginger, divided
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    ½ cup grape tomatoes halved
    ¾ teaspoon salt
    ¼ teaspoon black pepper
    Parmesan cheese to finish (if desired)

    -Cook the linguine according to package directions, drain and keep warm.

    -Meanwhile, place the broccoli florets in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the florets for 3 minutes, to slightly soften. Remove and set aside.

    -Season the scallops with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, brown the dried and seasoned scallops in the oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium/high heat on both sides. Remove the browned scallops to a plate and keep warm.

    -In the same skillet, add the lemon juice, white wine, red pepper flakes, ginger, garlic, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Reduce the heat to low and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet to deglaze the pan. Simmer on low for 2 minutes. Pour the sauce into the pot with the cooked linguine. Stir well to combine.

    -Add the partially cooked broccoli into the skillet and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add the broccoli, browned scallops, and halved tomatoes into the pot with the linguine and sauce. Season with ¾ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.

    -Pour the linguine and scallops out into a large platter or bowl and garnish with Parmesan cheese (if desired). Serve immediately and enjoy!
