It might be just an illusion, but we think scallops taste better when they’re cooked in the shell. A touch of garlic butter doesn’t hurt either. Look out for green garlic, the immature plant that has a milder garlic hit. If unavailable, substitute regular garlic or spring onion, depending on the strength of flavour you’re after.
