Inspired by my recent trip to Belize and Guatemala and Mexican street food cooking class at Jamie Oliver's Recipease.

Wanted to make a tapas style dinner for mama, so picked up a few ingredients for this that seemed would go together well. The result was delicious :)

Ingredients:

• 6 scallops
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Small piece of fresh ginger, finely chopped
• A handful of fresh coriander, roughly chopped.
• Coriander leaves to garnish
• Some butter for frying

Method

1. Mix the lemon juice, coriander and ginger in a small bowl.
2. Rinse the scallops, pat dry with paper towel.
3. Add the scallops to the bowl, make sure they are covered with marinade. Leave for 15 minutes or longer.
4. Heat butter in a frying pan. When the melted butter starts to bubble, pick out the scallops and fry.
5. When the scallops are cooked as you like them (3-5 minutes is the time usually recommended in recipes, but I go with whatever feels right), serve right away and garnish with a few coriander leaves.
6. Enjoy!
