Instructions: Remove the orange beak of coral from each scallop.

It takes less time to cook so is best added later.

Slice each scallop in half.

Warm half the butter and oil in a frying or saute pan.

When it sizzles add the breadcrumbs cook for 4 to 5 minutes over a moderate heat till they are golden stirring so that they do not burn.

In a second pan warm the remaining butter and add the garlic.

Cook over a moderate heat for a minute and then scoop out the garlic and add the scallop slices.

Fry quickly for 30 seconds no longer on each side.

Any longer and they will toughen. Almost as soon as you have turned them add the corals and tip the golden breadcrumbs from their pan into the scallops.

Add the parsley and serve.

Nothing complements a scallop like
golden buttery breadcrumbs fresh ones
rather than those ghastly day glo
orange things you find in packets.
