Sexy Scallops baked on the half shell ...

| Just add finely chopped garlic and Parmesan to butter, black pepper & salt, bake for 20 min |
The
soft fleshy texture and delicately mild sweet flavour of scallops are enjoyed
by even those who are not very fond of fish or other shellfish. Scallops are molluscs
that have two beautiful convexly ridged, or scalloped, shells. They consist of
two shells hinged at one end which is why they are known to marine biologists
as bi-valve molluscs.
The
edible portion of the scallop is the white muscle that opens and closes the two
shells and is called the "nut." The reproductive glands known as
"coral" are also edible. Most people know that fish is good for you,
but what about other seafood? As it turns out, scallops, in addition to their
delectable taste, contain a variety of nutrients that can promote your
cardiovascular health, plus provide protection against colon cancer. All I know
is that I absolutely adore scallops and these baked scallops with just freshly
chopped garlic, butter, sea salt and parmesan cheese are just sensational..
enjoy with some chilled Chardonnay and a very sexy partner…
