Scallops in Ginger Butter
These scallops are an annual tradition in our household and always part of our Easter seafood degustation extravaganza – in plain speak; Easter is when our family overdoses on seafood!
These scallops are simply cooked with a delicious glaze. We use our BBQ all year round and cooking these scallops (as delicate as they may seem) is perfect on the BBQ.
Easter, seafood, barbecuing and the great outdoors; it doesn’t get any better than this.
