Ingredients…..
8 x large scallops (roe off)
150g x room temperature salted butter
50g x black pudding (chopped)
10 x rashers of streaky bacon
4 x scallop shells (you can get these from the fish mongers)

• set oven to 195*c
• slice your bacon into thin lardon’s
• heat a medium sized frying pan and add your lardons, no need to oil the pan as the bacon is fatty enough.
• fry on a medium to high heat until golden and super crispy, continuously moving the bacon around the pan.
• once crisp pour your bacon into a bowl lined with kitchen roll and set aside
• in a bowl add your butter and black pudding and smush together to creat a chunky black pudding butter
• put two scallops in each shell and add a big spoon of the black pudding putter over the top
• place on a baking tray and cook in the oven on the middle shelf for 4/5 minutes depending on the size of your scallops
• remove from the oven and place on a plate or serving board
• sprinkle over a generous amount of your crispy bacon and enjoy
