Ah! This is one of those shellfish that makes my weekend. I don't mind waking up at 5am just to visit the seafoods market and hope to grab these beauties.

We end up eating almost all 3 servings when I realized I haven't taken a photo of the finish product... so the actual photo of the dish (what's left of it) can be found in step 7. 😅
