Garlic Butter Seared Bay Scallops

Garlic Butter Seared Bay Scallops with linguini is one of those rare dishes that feels special but comes together in almost no time. By the time the pasta is done cooking, the scallops are perfectly seared in that rich, garlicky butter, and the whole kitchen smells like you’ve been cooking for hours, even though you haven’t.

It’s quick, it’s satisfying, and it always feels a little indulgent in the best possible way. A perfect “I cooked, but I also kept my sanity” kind of dinner.
