Scallops baked in their shells

1.  Preheat the oven to its highest setting.  Whizz the garlic, butter and parsley together in a food processor with a pinch of salt

2. Put the cleaned scallops in their half shell on a baking tray ( If they wobble a bit, just anchor them with a blob of mashed potatoe on the bottom )

3.  Add a splash of wine and a scattering of salt to each shell.  Sprinkle over the tarragon and drizzle with olive oil

4.  Cover the scallops with breadcrumbs and put a knob of the garlic butter on top.

5.  Bake in the oven for 6 -7 minutes, until the scallops are cooked and the breadcrumbs have formed a golden-brown crust.  Serve with lemon wedges.  Yumm!
