This is an ideal dish for those occasions when you have only a few scallops and wish to create a tasty entrée.  It has a real kick to it, so make sure your guests are into spicy food before you cook it.

(Serves 4)

  • 2 dozen scallops, on shell
  • sea salt
  • cracked pepper
  • 25g butter
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 red chilli, seeded and finely diced
  • ¼ tsp fresh ginger, grated 

Method

Preheat oven to 225°C.
