I love scallops fried in a light sage butter with a saffron risotto.

Pancetta or cubed bacon fried, add scallops and serve on a bed of rocket with a little balsamic dressing or vinegar!

I second sage butter mmmmmmmmm

I also like to fry some lardons and then cook the scallops in the bacon fat, then after they're ready squeeze some lemon juice into the leftover fat, reduce for a few seconds and pour over the scallops.

I'd second the pancetta and pea purée or salad suggestions. And some really good bread.
Mmmmmm

Black pudding is a lovely accompaniment to scallops.

Risotto made with home made fish stock and a green salad.
Light but luxurious.
