Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes.
Step 2
Mix black pepper, white pepper, salt, mustard, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and thyme together. Dredge scallops in blackening spices.
Step 3
Melt 1/2 of the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until just tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate, cover, and set aside.
Step 4
Meanwhile, melt remaining butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add scallops in a single layer and sear until browned on the outsides and opaque in the centers, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Cover and set aside.
Step 5
Drain pasta and place in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil. Add the mushroom mixture and tomato. Serve pasta in individual bowls; place scallops on top and drizzle with lemon juice.
