I love scallops. They're sweet meaty little seafood morsels that have a delicate and luxurious flavour. That coupled with the fact their flavour is wonderfully versatile and can go with a whole range of other flavours and textures makes the palate more excited.
This recipe combines aromatic elements from the herb crust whilst using the sweetness of the chilli to elevate the aromatic tones and give a prominent but pleasant "punch". This is ideal as a starter or can be modified to a main course by adding other elements - some people abhor the idea but i like it with guacamole as a puree, I guess its all about preference.
Makes 10 -so by all means divide by 2 for a dinner party sized bath or adjust accordingly.
