Scallops have to be one of the most beautiful ingredients. so sweet and delicate. They deserve the upmost respect.
Fresh scallops are really good eaten raw.
To cook Scallops season them well on one side and add into a medium to hot pan with a splash of oil in. Season the other side now. Cook the Scallop until coloured well (an even colour of cornflakes is what you are looking for). Then turn over, add some butter and baste for 3 minutes untill cooked. Rest for one minute.
