Veiras al Ajillo- Scallops in Garlic sauce

This is a great garlicky-lime scallop dish. The combination of citrus of the lime, the garlic, and the butter gives this dish a great flavor.

Scallop??

A scallop (pronounced /ˈskɒləp/ or /ˈskæləp/) is a marine bivalve mollusc of the family Pectinidae. Scallops are a cosmopolitan family, found in all of the world's oceans. Many scallops are highly prized as a food source. The brightly colored, fan-shaped shells of some scallops with their radiating fluted pattern are valued by shell collectors.

The name "scallop" is derived from the Old French escalope, which means "shell".[1]
