Instructions:

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Boil Pasta: Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
Cook Pasta: Add the fettuccine or tagliatelle pasta noodles to the boiling water and cook until al dente, approximately 10 to 12 minutes. Once cooked, drain the pasta well and set aside.
Prepare Ingredients: While the pasta is cooking, chop 1/4 cup of pickled ginger and set aside. Grate the peel of one lime and finely chop two garlic cloves. Pat dry the scallops and remove any connective muscle. Season the scallops with lime peel, chopped garlic, salt, and pepper.
Sear Scallops: Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy frypan over medium-high heat. Add one-third of the seasoned scallops to the pan and cook without disturbing for 2 minutes, or until deep golden brown. Turn the scallops and cook for an additional 2 minutes until cooked through and golden on both sides. Repeat with the remaining scallops.
Prepare Wasabi Paste: In a small bowl, blend wasabi powder with 2 tablespoons of cream to create a paste.
Make Creamy Sauce: In the same frypan used to cook the scallops, pour in the remaining cream and add butter. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat. Whisk in the prepared wasabi paste, chopped ginger, and parmesan cheese (if using).
Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked noodles and seared scallops to the creamy sauce. Toss gently to coat everything in the flavorful sauce.
Adjust Seasoning: Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper according to your preference.
Serve: Transfer the Lime Glazed Scallops on Creamy Wasabi Fettuccine to individual pasta bowls. Garnish each serving with rosettes made from the remaining pickled ginger and freshly chopped chives.
Enjoy!: Delight in the sensational blend of flavors and textures in every forkful of this exquisite dish. Pair it with a crisp white wine or your favorite refreshing beverage for the ultimate dining experience. Bon appétit! 🍽️🥂
