Steps

1

Use frozen scallops (thaw them) or refrigerated ones, with their shells. In a blender, combine a couple of garlic cloves, parsley leaves, good quality extra virgin olive oil, and a bit of lemon juice. Blend for a few seconds, not too much so you can still see some parsley, and it doesn't emulsify too much. Let it rest for a few minutes to return to its natural state.
2

Place the scallops on a baking tray with their shells and season with a little salt and pepper. Drizzle with a teaspoon of garlic and parsley oil.
3

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and turn it off when the oil starts to move. Leave them in the oven for 2 minutes with the door closed.
4

Remove from the oven and serve, drizzling with a little more garlic and parsley oil.

Honestly, they are delicious and quick to make without making much mess.
