Grilled Scallops with Maitre d’Hotel Butter Recipe

Seafood. Can taste so different, but always delicious. I can be hardly surprised with mussels, rapanas or different kinds of fish, as I’m a sea city child. But it’ completely different story with scallops.

This recipe of Grilled Scallops with Maitre d’Hôtel Butter perfectly fits in the popular French concept ‘sea-land’. The French are famous for being storytellers and ‘smart pants’, but they definitely have an eye for cooking seafood. The freshest grilled scallops are served on a bed of fluffy mashed potato. With Maître d’Hôtel Butter shimmering on top of the scallops previously mixed with garlic, salt and greens. That’s posh and so scrumptious!

I have to warn you that this dish is demanding. No rush or falseness is allowed. Invite Her, pour some wine and surprise. Not every day, but sometimes it’s so nice to treat yourself.
