Scallops With Roasted Chili Paste Recipe
I baked these scallops in the shells with Thai roasted chili paste and served them with slices of lime. Looks great, doesn’t it? If you plan to make this, just inform your fishmonger to prepare the scallops for you and reserve the shells. Give the scallops a quick rinse at home and pat them dry before cooking them.

Preheat the oven at 180˚C (350˚F).
Arrange the scallops in their shells in a baking tray.

Close the scallops with the other half of the shells.
Bake them for about 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with lime wedges and garnish with dill, if desired. Serve immediately.
