Add red pepper, garlic, lemon zest and pepper flakes; cook and stir 2 minutes. Stir in broth, wine and lemon juice. Bring to a boil.

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook pasta according to packaging directions, or until al dente. Rinse scallops, remove muscle and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. In a large sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat. When butter melts into the olive oil, cook scallops for 2-3 minutes on either side, or until browned. Transfer to a plate and keep covered. (Do not over cook scallops, as they will become rubbery.) Using the same pan, drizzle in the rest of your olive oil and butter, and cook your garlic, shallots (both seasoned with salt and pepper) and lemon peel, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes. Pour in your wine and let reduce 1-2 minutes. Then add seafood stock. Let reduce 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice (making sure to catch the seeds) and cook for 1 minute. Take your cooked pasta and add it to the sauce. Cook for 30 seconds and toss to coat well. Transfer to serving plates and top with scallops and fresh dill.

Steps:

• Cut the orange corals from the scallops and finely chop them. Halve the white scallops to make 2 fat pieces and roll them up in the strips of prosciutto.
• Cook the pasta in salted water following pack instructions - it should only take about 4 mins. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large, deep sauté pan and sear the scallops for 1-2 mins, to brown the prosciutto and lightly cook the scallop inside. Lift from the pan onto a warm plate and leave to rest.
• Add the garlic to the pan juices and fry, stirring, until golden. Tip in the chopped corals and thyme, and stir-fry for a few mins more. Add the lemon zest, juice and vermouth, let it bubble down to at least half, then toss in the parsley. Drain the pasta and add to the pan with salt and plenty of black pepper, then toss to make sure the strands are well coated. Add the prosciutto-wrapped scallops and serve drizzled with a little extra oil, if you like.
