This recipe for baked scallops is traditional from Galicia. As in all recipes, it has its variants depending on the custom of each house. It can be made with tomato or without tomato, with paprika or without paprika, with ham or without ham and even without breadcrumbs.
I make it as my mother taught me and as it was always done in my family: with tomato, with ham and with breadcrumbs but without paprika. She also put a teaspoon of brandy in each of the scallops so that they were marinated while preparing the sauce. I do the same.
I hope you like it.
