In a saute pan, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, saute the corn, onions, garlic, and peppers for 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the frisee, parsley and water. Cook to wilt the frisee, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Dredge the scallops in the sugar.

Spoon the sauce on the bottom of the plate. Mound the salad in the center of the sauce. Arrange the scallops around the salad.
