Recipe tips / Prepare ahead
If you can get hold of them, this dish looks great when presented in scallop shells.
Method
Step 1
Flash-fry the scallops in a little butter for 1 min per side, then leave to stand on a plate. Chop the spring onions, fry in the same pan, then remove to one side. Grill the bacon and put aside to cool.
Step 2
Put the pan back on the heat, add the whiskey and set alight (this stops the sauce tasting bitter, but be very careful, as the flames can get quite high). After a few seconds, when the flame subsides, add the cream, stir well and season.
Step 3
Leave the sauce to simmer on a low heat for about 10 mins until reduced by half. Add the spring onions.
Step 4
Cut the bacon into bite-sized pieces and add to the sauce. Put the scallops into the washed and dried shells (two per shell, if you have them), pour over the whiskey cream and serve immediately.
