Combine coconut milk, Glace de Fruits de Mer
Gold®, and fish sauce. Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat until almost smoking. Add scallops in a single layer and cook until golden brown on bottom, about 1 minute. Turn and cook 1 minute longer. Add spinach, stir a couple of times, then pour in coconut mixture, and bring to a boil. Add lime juice, scallions, chile, and pepper. Taste to adjust flavors and turn off heat. Place a ½-cup mound of rice in the center of 4 wide soup plates. Divide scallops and spinach among plates, drizzle on coconut, and serve.
