Preparation

  • In a pan, brown onion, garlic, sliced leeks, thyme and parsley with half of the butter. Add white wine and bake at very low heat for about 15 minutes. Remove herbs bouquet. Add scallops to the sauce.
  • Bake few minutes. Scallops are ready when its flesh is opaque and the center stays lightly translucent. (It'll become too rubbery if over cooked)
  • Set remaining butter with breadcrumbs and chopped parsley. Spread scallops sauce into shells and coat with breadcrumbs mixture. Serve warm.
