Scallops with Street BBQ Chinese Butter

Ingredients:

10 x scallops in the half shell – cleaned by your fishmonger

100g unsalted butter

Street BBQ Chinese seasoning

Juice of 1 lemon

Method:

Prep the Scallops – check for any small shell fragments and ensure they are clean.
Butter & Season – add half a tbsp of butter to each scallop and sprinkle generously with Street BBQ Chinese seasoning.
Grill to Perfection – place the scallops directly on the BBQ. As the butter melts and begins to bubble, let it cook until it turns a rich hazelnut brown.
Finish & Serve – move the scallops to a cooler part of the grill to finish cooking gently. Let them rest for a couple of minutes, then drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
That’s it! No complicated techniques - just big, bold flavours that will leave you wanting more. Serve hot and enjoy!
