100 g butter
1 tbsp capers, finely chopped
½ tsp SIDS CRAZY LEMON

10-12 basil leaves, cut very finely
2 tbsp finely grated fresh parmesan
2½-3 dozen fresh scallops
SIDS SALT & PEPPER to taste
15-18 cleaned scallop shells, to cook in

Place butter in a microwave bowl or pot and heat until just melted. Mix in capers, lemon zest, SIDS CRAZY LEMON, basil leaves and parmesan.
Place 2 scallops in each scallop shells, top each one with 1 heaped teaspoon butter. Season with SIDS SALT & PEPPER. Chill until ready to serve.
To serve, place scallop shells onto heated barbecue over HIGH heat. Cook until butter bubbles then turn and cook another minute. Don’t over cook - scallops need to be opaque and just heated through. Serve hot.
