About

Scallops are an expensive ingredient, so this is probably one for a special occasion – and special it will be! You’ll get compliments galore for very little effort; the sweetness of the scallops is delightfully matched by the robust flavours in the dish, with the coconut milk adding a creamy sweetness which tempers the chilli heat. Sublime!
