Add the butter to a frying pan. Add the raw scallops and pan-broil on each side a couple of minutes on medium heat. Remove from the pan.

comment:
The extract of the scallops mixed with the butter soaks into the ingredients and makes this dish delicious. When spaghetti is eaten with scallops, it becomes milder.
