Baked Scallops with Lemon & Parsley Butter

Ingredients

  • 6 wild scallops, in shells

  • 1 lemon, zested

  • Small bunch of fresh parsley, finely chopped

  • 30g butter

  • A little salt & pepper

  • 20g white breadcrumbs

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/Gas mark 6.

  2. Ensure the scallops and shells are clean and free from grit, rinse with a little cold water if needs be.

  3. Arrange the scallops in shells onto a shallow baking tray. Add a small knob of butter on top of each scallop, sprinkle a little lemon zest and parsley and then top with breadcrumbs.

  4. Pop the tray of scallops into the hot oven for 6-7 minutes when the scallops should be just cooked and hot through and the breadcrumbs golden and crisp.

  5. Serve immediately in the shells with a small wedge of lemon for extra zing.
