Served on their shell, this barbecued scallops recipe is a crowd pleasing starter for any dinner party. I like to turn the sobrasada into a crumb by combining it with butter, sourdough bread and hazelnuts which I wrap into a sausage and chill in the fridge. Once I’m ready to serve, I slice a piece of the crumb for each scallop and melt it under the grill. You can also place a small slice of just sobrasada sausage for a more punchy porky flavour. The sweetcorn puree complements really well the scallops, whilst the sobrasada crumb provides a wonderful earthy flavour.
