30 minutes

Fried scallops, breaded in flour — a refined dish of French cuisine that embodies the harmony of textures and flavors. The scallops, with their tender and slightly sweet flesh, are fried to a crispy golden crust while retaining their juiciness inside. A light milk soaking makes the seafood even softer, while white pepper and thyme add exquisite spice. Serving with lemon highlights the natural freshness of the scallops, and parsley adds a hint of freshness. This dish pairs perfectly with white wines and serves as a delightful treat for a romantic dinner or festive table, impressing with its elegance and unique taste.
