If you’re looking for something quick to whip up for dinner, but want something a little nicer than your standard fare this scallop dish is worth a shot. I love scallops, or any seafood for that matter, because the cooking time is quick and you can throw a nice meal together in no time. What sets this meal apart is the snap peas and pancetta. It lends a nice earthy, savory taste to the scallops and really anchors the meal. I personally cook the snap peas a little longer so they soften up more to my liking. You could also do a quick steam to them before sauteeing.  If you’re looking for something a little more substantial to fill your bellies, I’d pair this with rice, or perhaps a cauliflower or celery root mash to keep things on the healthier side.
