Scallops are usually available shucked, sold fresh or frozen and range in color from pale beige to creamy pink. Scallops can be broiled, grilled, pan-fried or deep-fried and cook in a matter of minutes.

I used dried cranberries instead of currants. This dish was very pleasing to the eye and quite delicious. It takes time to make, but the presentation will definitely impress your guests. I made these for a special dinner I made for my mom.

I made a few changes:replace pine nuts with chopped toasted walnuts, and I couldn't find currants at my groc. store so I deleted them. In this recipe, presentation is everything. Take your time and do it right. I have found it easier to make small stacks when I use a biscuit cutter. Just stack inside the cutter and carefully remove when done. It is beautiful and tasty.
