  • Pat scallops dry then season with pepper and ½ teaspoon salt.
  • Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat over medium-high heat.
  • Sauté scallops 5-6 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate (can be the same one the asparagus is on).
  • Add wine and vinegar to skillet and boil, scraping up any flavorful brown bits from the sides and bottom of the pan. Reduce liquid to ¼ cup.
  • Add scallops and any juice from the scallops to the liquid in the skillet.
  • Reduce heat to low and whisk in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Add asparagus and remaining salt and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Serve hot over pasta if desired.
