To use the hollow undershells of scallops as containers, first scrub them thoroughly, then boil them for five minutes in water.

  1. Pick over and rinse any mud from the shells. Take a an oyster knife in one hand, holding the shell level in your palm, and insert the knife between the top and bottom shells
  2. Sever the muscle and discard the top shell. Loosen the muscle and tip the meat into a bowl of water
  3. Extract the white muscle and red coral, discarding the fringe-like membrane and dark organs. Wash both thoroughly
  4. Finally, discard the small crescent-shaped muscle from the white meat
