Shrimb and bacon pasta

I made this last night and loved it, but I didn't use a recipe, so I'm putting down what I did so I won't forget. 

Ingredients
1/2-1 lb shrimp
1/2 large onion
2-4 pieces cooked bacon
2-4 cloves of garlic, minced
some shredded parmesan
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil
butter (I used 1.5 TBSP altogether, but could use more :))
cooked pasta (about 8 oz)


Chop onion and saute in olive oil until clear.  Add some butter and the minced garlic.  Add shrimp, bacon and a handful of shredded Parmesan cheese and season with salt/pepper (may want to add a bit more olive oil and/or butter) and cook until the shrimp is done (just a few minutes).  Toss in with the pasta and add olive oil as needed so the pasta isn't dry. 

Scallops with garlic butter

Ingredients:
I lb fresh sea scallops
1 tablespoons melted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons Italian bread crumbs

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425. In a small heat safe bowl or measuring cup combine butter, shallot and garlic. Microwave about one minute or until butter is melted. Place scallops in a shallow baking dish. Pour the garlic/shallot butter over the scallops evenly. Combine oil and bread crumbs and sprinkle over scallops. Add salt and pepper. Bake until opaque, about 10-12 minutes.

Original recipe here.

Here's what I did differently: I didn't have any green onions so I chopped up half of a regular onion and sauteed it in the butter and some olive oil, then added the garlic (will definitely do the regular onion again). This last time I also added 3 pieces of bacon...soooo good.  I poured that over the scallops and added the rest of the olive oil (I probably put in 3 Tbs altogether) with the bread crumbs as well as some lemon juice and the salt and pepper. I took them out after 10 minutes and considered pan searing them for a minute, but didn't (though I bet it would be good). I don't usually like scallops, but these were really good! I served them over whole wheat spaghetti.
