Scallops

[ethandron]

I have a bag of large frozen scallops and have been browsing recipes using them. The one I fancy is to put them on top of a slice of black pudding, on top of colcannon mash, finished with some crispy bacon rashers on top of everything.
Does anyone have any tried and tested favourite way of using them?
Thanks.

I like sound of your suggestion. Can I join you?

I love them cooked any way, your suggestion sounds good. I usually put a few in a fish pie.

I love them anyways. Nice with just a salad or pea puree/cauliflower puree.

I put some on top of a chilli lime stir fry, with salmon, and although it was nice, I'm looking for something really, really tasty. I remember having scallops and bacon kebabs some years ago and thinking they were absolute nectar :)
'course you can Grassy, you'll have to be quick though ;)
I've seen them mentioned a few times with pea purée, might have to give that a go too.

Indian spiced purée of cauli or celeriac (you can cheat and use a spoon of paste), griddled/fried scallops and a little salad of julienned carrot with a good squeeze of lemon juice and a spoon of plain oil heated up and a spoon of black mustard seeds added and thrown over the carrot when the seeds sizzle. A few leaves of fresh coriander taste good and make it look pretty.

You have exquisite taste! I did king prawn stir fry with soy chilli and Ginger earlier

Scallops and smoked bacon are a match made in heaven - your idea sounds great to me. That reminds me that I froze some a while ago, perhaps use them tomorrrow.

They are lovely with black pudding, Apple puree and crispy pancetta. Some mixed leaves and a wee drizzle of balsamic.

Ok Eccles, when can you come round to show me how to do that? ;)
Grassy, the chilli lime thing was a mixture of suggestions from Ummm and Eccles, so of course it was exquisite.... :)
Ooh, Vodka, that sounds really good too.
Thanks for the suggestions you lot!
