Steamed Scallops with Ginger and Soy

Loosen the scallops from their shells if required and remove any grit or sand. Place the scallops back in the shells and arrange in a steamer basket.

Combine the dressing ingredients in a bowl and spoon a little over each scallop.

Cover and steam over simmering water for 2-3 minutes. Cooking time will depend on the size of the scallops. If the scallops have been frozen, a lot of liquid may come out during steaming. Drain this off as it will dilute the flavor of the dressing. Put the scallops on a serving platter and spoon over the remaining dressing. Top each with a sprinkle of sesame seeds, coriander, spring onion, chilli and fried shallots. Serve immediately.
