Recipe - Scallop Slivers In The Shell

4 Live large sea scallops in
the shell
One fourth cup Extra virgin olive oil

Clean scallops well, removing any sand and the mussel which connects it to
the shell. Slice the scallop very thinly. Place the slices in one layer
around the inside of the shell. Brush the top of the scallop lightly with
olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with the shallot and
chives. Repeat with the 3 remaining scallops. Just before serving, lightly
sprinkle each with lemon juice. Serve with the rustic sourdough toast.
