SCALLOPS IN SAFFRON SAUCE
These are the most delicious scallops I have ever had. Perfect for a special occasion as an appetizer. I found the fish stock hard to find so I substituted vegetable stock and it was just as good. Also, I would imagine you could substitute the scallops for prawns.

Steps:
- For the short ribs: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large casserole heat the oil over medium-high heat. Season the meat with salt and pepper and brown on all sides. Remove the short ribs and set aside. Add the onion, carrot, paprika, caraway, and thyme to the pan and cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Pour in the honey, red wine, and stock and bring it to a boil. Return the meat to the pan; the liquid should just about cover the meat. Place the pot in the oven and put on the lid loosely to allow the steam to escape and the sauce to thicken. Cook until the meat is very tender, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Place the meat on a platter and keep it warm. If necessary, cook the liquid over high heat until it is thick and syrupy. Remove from the heat and return the meat to the pan while you make the scallops.
- For the scallops: In a saucepan over high heat, add the chicken broth, cream, orange zest, and saffron, if using. Cook until the liquid is reduced and thick, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, pat the scallops dry with paper towels. Season them well with salt and pepper. Put a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 3 tablespoons olive oil. Sear the scallops without moving them for 1 to 2 minutes. When nicely browned, turn them over and sear them on the other side. Remove the scallops and set aside. Pour out any excess oil and add the cream mixture to the pan. Let this reduce over high heat for about 2 minutes. Return the scallops to the pan and cook until they are heated through, about 1 more minute.
- Serve the sticky short ribs topped with the creamy scallops; garnish with watercress.

Steps:
- In a large pot, bring the white wine to a boil over high heat. Add the lobster, cover, reduce heat and steam for 10 minutes. Remove the lobster and set aside. Reserve the broth.
- When the lobster is cool, remove the meat from the claws and tail and set aside. Use a sharp knife to split the body and to break the shell into 2- to 3-inch chunks. Place the shells in the reserved lobster broth over low heat, and simmer for 1 hour. Strain and set aside.
- Melt 1 teaspoon of the butter in a clean saucepan. Add the shallots, and saute until softened, about 30 seconds. Add the lobster broth and the sparkling wine, and bring to a slow simmer. Add the scallops, and simmer just until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, place in a bowl and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Place 2 cups of the poaching liquid in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until reduced to 1 cup, about 15 minutes. Add the saffron, and simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes. Cut the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons butter into small pieces. Remove the sauce from the heat, and gradually whisk in the butter. Carefully stir in the caviar to avoid breaking the eggs.
- Cut the lobster meat into bite-size chunks. Steam the spinach just until wilted, and divide among 4 plates. Divide the scallops among the plates, sprinkle with lobster chunks and spoon the sauce over the scallops and lobster. Serve immediately.
