The garlicky spinach really does it for me. As a quick meal or snack sometimes I don't make the sauce, but instead I lightly brush Hoisin sauce (sweet asian bbq sauce on the scallops after they are seared.

I've made this several times and always to rave reviews. This sauce is sooooo good. After the first time I streamlined it a little by eliminating the spinach and the pancetta, just topped the flapjacks with the scallops, the sauce and very thinly julliened, fried sweet potatoes. I've also made it with halibut in place of the scallops.

Scallops lacked any flavors and it took much longer to brown and cook through than the receipe suggests.
