Scallops with Pea Purée

Pan-seared scallops served over a silky sweet pea purée with crispy pancetta and lemon butter. Patting the scallops completely dry before they hit the hot pan is what lets them sear and caramelise properly, since any surface moisture steams them instead of browning the outside.
