Crumbed Scallops on the Shell

This is my Nigella Lawson inspired scallops on the shell.

It is a great entree, which is sure to impress. 

My husband states "he could eat 40 of these".

INGREDIENTS

18 Scallops, no roe

6 Scallop Shells, cleaned

3 Tsps Butter

1 Tbsp Minced Garlic

2 Tbsps Olive Oil

1/4 Tsp Sea Salt, plus a pinch

1 Cup Japanese Panko Bread Crumbs

1 Lime

METHOD

Preheat Oven to 250 degrees Celsius

Arrange the shells on a baking tray

Put the scallops in a bowl and sprinkle the breadcrumbs over them. Toss them around to be well coated.

Put 3 breaded scallops into each shell and sprinkle with any leftover breadcrumbs. 

Combine olive oil and garlic.

Add 1/2 tsp of the garlic oil on top of each scallop-filled shell, a squirt of lime juice, 1/2 tsp of butter.

Put the scallops in the oven for 20 minutes - for really crispy breadcrumbs.

Season with salt and pepper. Serve.
