Begin preparing this recipe by carefully cleaning the Capesante (scallops). Remove the shellfish from the shell, remove the hazelnut-colored fringe, wash the "nut" (the white muscle) and the "coral" (the orange part) under running water. Wash the shells as well and keep them aside. Chop the parsley and mix it with the breadcrumbs in a small bowl. Arrange the scallops inside their shells on a baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart, and spread the parsley breadcrumbs over the shellfish. |
