Bay Scallops with Garlic Parsley Butter Sauce image

They say smell is the sense most closely linked to memory recall, and that was certainly the case while making these garlicky, buttery bay scallops on toast. As waves of the wonderful aromas wafted up from the pan, they brought back a flood of vivid memories of my first kitchen job.

Not a fan of this recipe. The scallops were bland and the sauce was too oily.

The scallops were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I will try it again with a shorter cooking time.
