Ingredients

12 scallops in the shell
1 tbsp butter, melted
1 clove garlic, minced
120g parmesan, grated

Method

STEP 1
Heat the grill to medium. Clean the scallops and open them, leaving just one shell with the scallop inside. Put on an oven tray. Mix the butter with the garlic and season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then use a pastry brush to spread across the scallops. Scatter the grated parmesan evenly on top and grill
for 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden brown. Sprinkle a few drops of lime juice on each scallop and serve garnished with coriander.
