Spiced Scallops in their Shells recipe
information
Scallops are excellent steamed. When served with this spicy sauce, they make a delicious, yet simple, starter for four people or a light lunch for two. Each person spoons sauce on to the scallops before eating them.
ingredients
method
1. Remove the dark beard-like fringe and tough muscle from the scallops.
2. Place 2 scallops in each shell. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then scatter the ginger, garlic and spring onions on top. Place the shells in a bamboo steamer in a wok and steam for about 6 minutes, until the scallops look opaque (you may have to do this in batches) .
3. Mean-while, make the sauce. Mix together the garlic, ginger, spring onions, chillies, soy sauces and sesame oil and pour into a small serving bowl.
4. Carefully remove each shell from the steamer, taking care not to spill the juices, and arrange them on a serving plate with the sauce bowl in the centre. Serve at once.
