Broiled Bay Scallops on Half Shell Recipe

1. Preheat broiler.

2. For each hors d'oeuvre, place 2 scallops in the center of a bay scallop shell. Spoon 2 teaspoons vermouth, 1 teaspoon Pernod, and 2 teaspoons olive oil over the scallops. Sprinkle with a little garlic, parsley, and pepper.

3. Place the shells on a baking sheet. Broil 6 inches from the heat just until browned and cooked, about 3 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving, in the shells.
