Scallops are pretty easy to coordinate with side dishes. Rice, pasta, and potatoes are staples, and you can’t go wrong with green beans, kale, or sautéed vegetables. If you want to step up your culinary game, try a side like lemon risotto, corn succotash, dressed-up Brussel sprouts, or a citrus salad. Starches, lemon and lime, and fresh greens complement scallops. Of course, cream and wine-based sides and sauces are also excellent options. Chardonnay, Burgundy, Champagne, and Riesling are excellent wine pairings.
