- Carefully, starting at 12 o'clock again, flip the scallops and cook for a further minute.
- Remove scallops from pan (starting at 12 o'clock again) and place them on a plate near the hob.
- Turn the heat to high and add the wine to the pan.
- Allow this to bubble for a couple of minutes, then reduce the heat and add the saffron.
- Stir well and whisk in the remaining butter (1/4 stick/30 g).
- Once this has melted add the cream and whisk until slightly reduced and thickened.
- Return the scallops to the pan and serve garnished with parsley.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH CHAMPAGNE SAFFRON SAUCE
This is a delicious dish in a light cream sauce, and gets great flavor from the saffron. This would be great for a special occasion, or as an appetizer for a dinner party, and it's great with just plain white rice.

Steps:
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over high heat, add the saffron threads and toast them just until they start to give off their aroma(not very long, be sure not to burn them).
- Take the saffron threads out of the skillet and set aside.
- Melt half of the butter in the pan and start frying the scallops in batches, adding more butter as needed. Fry them so they are cooked through and lightly browned on each side.
- Transfer the scallops to a warm dish and keep covered.
- Add the saffron to the cooking juices, along with the champagne, cream, and any reserved scallop juices and stir.
- Bring to a boil, and then lower the heat slightly and simmer for about 10 minutes, until reduced to a consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
- Add freshly squeezed lemon juice from the half a lemon, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the scallops to the pan and stir until just heated through.
- Transfer to plates and garnish with parsley. Enjoy :).
SCALLOPS IN SAFFRON SAUCE
These are the most delicious scallops I have ever had. Perfect for a special occasion as an appetizer. I found the fish stock hard to find so I substituted vegetable stock and it was just as good. Also, I would imagine you could substitute the scallops for prawns.

Steps:
- Put wine, fish stock and saffron in a pan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
- Season the scallops with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large heavy bottom skillet. Add onion and garlic and cook for five minutes or until soft. Add the scallops and cook gently for five minutes stirring occasionally, or until they turn just opaque. Be careful not to overcook.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the scallops from the skillet and transfer to a warmed plate. Add the saffron liquid to the skillet, bring to a boil, and boil rapidly until reduced to about half. Lower the heat and gradually stir in the cream, just a little at a time. Let simmer gently until the sauce thickens.
- Return the scallops to the skillet and let simmer for 1-2 minutes just to heat them through. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper. serve the scallops hot, garnished with parsley, and accompanied by chunks or slices of crusty bread for mopping up the saffron sauce.
PASTA WITH SAFFRON SHRIMP AND SCALLOPS
Steps:
- The day before the party, make the base for the pasta seafood topping. Melt the butter in a skillet. When the foaming subsides, add the shallots, carrot and celery. Cover and cook over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until very tender and almost dissolved in butter. (If at any time the vegetables begin to stick to the skillet, add a tablespoonful of water or wine.) Uncover the skillet, add the saffron and white wine and boil over high heat until almost all of the wine has evaporated. Add the fish stock and simmer for 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper (do in advance up to this point.) Boil the pasta until al dente. While this is cooking, add the heavy cream to the skillet and simmer again until the sauce is slightly thickened. Add the shrimp and scallops and simmer just until the seafood is cooked through. Add the tomatoes and simmer just for a minute to warm them through without really cooking them. Adjust the seasoning. Drain the pasta and portion it out among 6 warm pasta bowls. Ladle the saffron seafood sauce over the top and garnish with warm microwaved peas.

SEA SCALLOPS WITH SAFFRON AIOLI
Steps:
- Put the orange juice and saffron in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for about 1 minute, until orange juice is infused with the saffron; stir in the zest and remove from the heat to cool slightly. Whisk the orange mixture and the mayonnaise in a small bowl until combined. Season with salt and set aside while you cook the scallops.
