Clean the scallops and shells well, making sure that they’re dry. Alongside the scallops, place into each shell 1 tsp butter, ½ tsp thyme, ½ clove of chopped garlic, a sprinkle of lemon zest, and a seasoning of salt and pepper.

BAKE YOUR SCALLOPS
Place the scallop shells directly onto the Stainless Steel Grid, close the Dome and cook for 6-7 minutes. Increase the temperature to 250°C if the butter doesn’t quickly start to bubble.
Serve the scallops in their shells in pools of flavoursome butter.
