Scallops!
You know that song “All you need is love.. love.. love is all you need”. Well I think it should be changed to “ All you need is scallops… so delicious.. scallops is all you need”. No joke. Scallops have got to be one of the friendliest seafood’s around. Simple to cook! The taste is simply mouth-watering! And there isn’t all that scary cleaning required unlike their Muscly friends. Indeed, since you buy the scallops already opened and rearing to go, you don’t even have to fear the prospects of what you may find when their shell opens, as thankfully, it is already opened!
Scallops
Ingredients: 1 dozen Scallops (cleaned and with shell), 4 scallions finely sliced, 2 tbsp garlic oil*, 2 tsp soy sauce, salt and pepper
*To make the garlic oil. Finely chop 2 large cloves of garlic, then fry the garlic for a couple of minutes on medium heat in ½ cup of vegetable oil until fragrant.
Steps: Arrange the scallops on the plate that you are going to steam the scallops with. (It may be easier to steam the scallops half a dozen at a time). Mix together the garlic oil and soy sauce in a small bowl. Then place sliced scallions on scallop and drizzle with the garlic oil mixture. Steam the scallops for approximately 8 minutes or until the flesh is white and no longer transclucent.
Makes 12
Tip! Always take care not to overcook your scallops! They toughen easily! As soon as they lose their translucence and turn opaque, they are done, if anything they should be slightly undercooked. Also, Scallops need little or no added salt.
