Scallops on the Shell with Pimenton Butter and Coriander
Plump scallops flash grilled in a smokey garlic butter and finished with a sprinkling of lime rind and coriander are as impressive as they are simple.
Serves:
4-6
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients
- 24 scallops with roe on the shell
- 125g butter
- 1 large clove garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (sweet or hot)
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped coriander stalks
- 1 lime or lemon
- coriander leaves, for serving
Method
To prepare the scallops. Remove the scallop from the shell. Rinse briefly if gritty and pat dry. Remove the side muscle. Wash and dry the shells and return the scallops to their shells. Arrange on an oven tray.
To make Pimenton Butter, combine butter, garlic and paprika in a saucepan over low heat until melted. Turn off heat and stir in coriander stalks.
Spoon Pimenton Butter over scallops and cook under a pre-heated grill for 1-2 minutes, until just cooked.
Place on serving plates. Grate the lime rind over the top, squeeze lime juice over the scallops and serve garnished with coriander.
Tips
* Use hot smoked paprika if you want a spicy kick.
