⅓ cup (80ml) gin
1 tbs lime juice
1 tsp salt flakes
2 qukes, very finely chopped
1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
16 scallops in their shells

Method

1.

Combine gin, lime juice and salt in a small bowl, stirring until salt dissolves. Add half the cucumber.
2.

Arrange the shells on a serving plate. Heat oil in a large frypan over high heat. Season scallops with salt and pepper and cook for 1 minute each side until golden. Return scallops to their shells and serve immediately with gin dressing, finger lime seeds and remaining cucumber. Add a drop of angostura if you like.
