For classic Asian-style garlic steamed scallops, top scallops with soaked vermicelli, minced garlic, chili and soy sauce, then steam until meat turns opaque. For western-style cuisine, take out scallop meat for pan-searing until golden-brown on surface, serve with risotto and asparagus. Scallops can also be grilled or baked directly in their shells. They work great for hot-pot: briefly blanch in boiling broth. Avoid over-cooking, which will make the meat tough and chewy. Always ensure thorough cooking before serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStorage Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep frozen at -18°C or below. Thaw in refrigerator prior to cooking.
