Serves 4

INGREDIENTS
6 tablespoons butter
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 mango, chopped
A good glug of white wine
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads (little goes along way)
Grated peel and juice of 1/2 lime
Pinch crushed red pepper
Salt
12 scallops (3 each) 

METHOD
​In a medium pan, melt two tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until translucent. Add the mango and cook for two minutes more. Add the wine and saffron and simmer to reduce, about one minute. Remove from the heat. 

Using a food processor, puree the mango mixture. Return the puree to the skillet and stir in the lime peel, lime juice, crushed red pepper and 1/4 cup water. Season to taste with salt; set aside.
