Balsamic Scallops

I enjoy scallops. They are sweet and have a good texture if cooked properly. They are also easy to prepare and use in a variety of dishes. So the other day I decided to fry a few up with some balsamic vinegar.

Balsamic Scallops

You will need:

1 lb scallops
¼ lb bacon, diced
Artichoke hearts
Ripe olives (pitted is best)
Olive oil
Aged Balsamic vinegar
Sea Salt
Paprika
Black pepper
Basil
Angle hair pasta

Season scallops with sea salt, paprika, and black pepper.
Place scallops in a bowl and add several tablespoons of balsamic vinegar. Refrigerate over-night.
In a large frying pan partially fry diced bacon. Drain away grease.
Remove scallops from vinegar and add to pan. Add olive oil as needed.
Add artichoke hearts, olives, and basil to taste. Add 2 table spoons of vinegar.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve over angle hair pasta with fresh grated parmesan cheese.
