Seafood Oats Porridge with Lobster

This savoury dish is surprisingly addictive. The way that the fresh seafood flavours intermingle with each other creates such a pleasant taste. Furthermore the peppery kick of this dish makes it such a great breakfast dish. Using oats instead of rice to make this porridge also means that another serving of this delectable dish doesn’t hit too hard on the waistline, perfect for those who want to still treat themselves while on a diet.

Baked Cheesy Scallop

These are cheesy and deliciously good. Will you just eat one or two ??NOOOOO, definitely not! You will eat more than that. This is so good that my kids just can’t help but rave about it. In the interest of keeping this recipe simple, I kept the ingredient list is rather short. =)

Ingredients

  • 1 pack of frozen half shelled scallop (thawed, washed and pat dry) 16 pcs, marinate it with 4 tbs cooking wine for 20 mins. rinse off then pat dry.
  • salted butter
  • 250g grated cheddar cheese
  • 100g grated mozzarella
  • dried parsley

Method

  • Preheat the oven at 170 degree celsius
  • Place a small slice of salted butter on the scallop
  • Top with grated cheese
  • Sprinkle on some dried parsley
  • Bake for 12 minutes. Remember not to overcook it. Use your own judgement as each oven works differently, so do the size of the scallop.

The scallop has three parts which are edible, the white fleshy muscle, the roe and the frilly membrane. It is up to you if you want to remove the other parts and leave only the white fleshy muscle. As for me I like to include all of it because each has different textures, giving a different mouth feel with each and every bite πŸ™‚
