    so delicious and a bit different!! i made them as a main, and had some linguine on the side, making a bit more of the sauce and pouring it over the pasta.

    Delicious starter - the flavours are gorgeous and it was a nice twist serving scallops with lime. I'd 'beef up' the starter with some salad leaves on the side in the future.

    Lovely starter - very easy too. Served mine on a bed of wild rocket and used the pan juices as a dressing.

    Dead easy! This the first time I have cooked scallops (believe it or not) and we were well impressed. Served with a green salad and sliced avocado which added a softer creamy texture to the plate. Lovely !!

    I combined this dish with Linguine with lemon, garlic & parmesan but I omitted the parmesan, from this website and it was fab! Really light and tasty. Would even do it for friends as a dinner party dish.
