Served in their shells, scallops look extremely impressive but are actually surprisingly quick and easy to prepare.

2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 onion, very finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
2 teaspoons fish sauce
2 teaspoons palm sugar
1/2 cup (125ml) chicken or fish stock
24 scallops with roe on the shell
Coriander leaves, to garnish

Method

1.

Heat the oil in a small saucepan over low heat, add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until soft. Add the crushed garlic, sweet chilli sauce, fish sauce, palm sugar and stock, and simmer for 5 minutes or until nearly all the stock has reduced. Set aside.
2.

Remove the scallops from their shells, scrub the shells and dry with paper towel. Pan-fry or barbecue the scallops for 1-2 minutes on each side until cooked through. Return to the shells, pour over a little sauce and garnish with coriander leaves.
