ingredients
- 4-6 scallops on the shell
- 25 grams butter
- 2 thinly sliced garlic cloves
- 1/4 finely chopped chives
- 1/2 juiced lemon
- 1 steamed green sea Asparagus
Method
Step 1
Remove scallops from the fridge and detach the scallops from the shells. Place on a plate and season the scallops with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Melt butter in a medium pan and add the garlic. Once the butter is foaming, add the scallops, seasoned side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until inflated and turns to a solid white. Turn and cook for a further minute until just set (any longer will over cook it), adding half of the chives and a squeeze of lemon juice in at this point.
Step 3
Place the asparagus on a plate and nestle the scallop shell in, ensuring it sits flat.
Step 4
Place 2-3 scallops into the shell, spoon garlic butter over. Make sure you have the delicious crispy garlic bits on top. Finish with fresh chives and a lemon wedge.
