Remove rosemary, stir in lemon juice and rind, pour into a 20cm square container and freeze, scraping occasionally to break up ice (6-8 hours).

2.Combine shallot and vinegar in a small bowl and set aside to pickle (30 minutes). Arrange scallops on serving plates, scatter with shallot and vinegar, drizzle with olive oil and season to taste. Scrape granita to break up ice, scatter over scallops, scatter with peppercorns and rosemary and serve immediately.
