This is the PERFECT starter/appetizer! If you love scallops, this is a must-try. Rich in protein and low in fat. The scallops are naturally salty and we usually don't add any seasoning, so that you can taste the freshness and the aromas of the scallops. We like the combination with the peas puree: sweet and creamy. We usually prepare more puree so that we can re-use it to season pasta or rice during weekday meals where we don't have time. I suggest to start preparing the puree first, as the scallops will cook in 5mins!
