There is no reason why doing a healthy reset can’t be delicious. This Whole30 scallop “pasta” is one of my absolute favorite recipes. The combination of scallops with tomatoes, arugula, lemon, and zucchini is unreal. Plus, it is also Low Carb and Keto friendly and takes less than 15 minutes to put together. This is my go-to meal when I am looking to treat myself and it is also an excellent option for date night!

Instructions
Step 1
Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Add the olive oil (1/2 tsp) to a skillet on high heat. Once the oil heats up, add the scallops and sear for approximately 2 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2
Using the same skillet add the remaining olive oil (1 tsp) over medium to high heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper and cook for about 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add the cherry tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, arugula, lemon juice and zucchini noodles. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder and cook for approximately 3 minutes or until the zucchini is cooked through. Add a little water if the sauce appears too thick.
Step 3
Once the vegetable “pasta” is cooked through, add the scallops to the mix and toss gently to combine. Serve on a plate and enjoy!
Full disclosure, I write these blogs in my spare time. I do not have an editor and am the only one who reviews the content. As a result, it is likely I’ll have the occasional typo or grammar mistake. If you find anything, feel free to let me know.
Lastly, I’ll admit food photography is not my forte. If you make the recipe and have a better picture, please share and I will happily post it and give you photo cred!
