Cut the end of the lemon and squeeze ¼ cup of lemon juice in a glass measuring cup. Add ¼ cup of soy sauce and whisk lemon juice, lemon zest and soy sauce, then set aside.


Use a pot large enough to add pasta or break pasta in half. Boil a pot of water with ½ teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of EVOO. Then add the entire 8-ounce package of pasta and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes until the linguine is limp but not too soft. Drain water and set aside pasta.


Boil a separate pot of water to add the frozen peas. Simmer on a medium heat until the water reaches a new boiling point. Then drain the water from the peas and set aside.


Add EVOO, garlic, basil, salt-free seasoning, scallops and onions to a wok or large sauté pan and brown the scallops. Cook each side of the scallops for no longer than 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove from pan and set aside in glass storage container.
