Zamburiñas – scallops on half-shell
Par-cooked, delicious Zamburiñas (scallops), ready to eat. These are the perfect scallops for cooking a la plancha (high-temperature searing with a small amount of smoking). These scallops come to you prepared for cooking, with the hassle and danger of opening them already done.
They are still with their shell and coral which help them keep their delicate flavor and tender texture. Additionally, our scallops are frozen which makes them even more tender.
Preparing Zamburiñas
To prepare your Zamburiñas simply thaw them. You can then prepare them however you’d like. We do recommend preparing them a la plancha for the easiest and most flavorful result. Zamburiñas are often grilled in their shells.
For a delicious take on “surf and turf” try this popular preparation from Galicia in Spain: pair the scallops with a white wine bechamel and a sprinkling of chopped Iberico ham on top.
Information about Zamburiñas
A Zamburiña or variegated scallop is a small bivalve mollusk in the family Pectinidae. It is a common species found throughout the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, the North Sea, and the Red Sea, where it lives on the coasts up to 80 meters deep. There are other countries in the Americas that produce scallops in big volumes, but these do not have the taste and substance of the one found off the European coasts.
Scallops usually live attached to the rocky substrate, and are rarely found loose on the sand or in the water.
Zamburiñas (scallops) cooking tips
If you are not familiar with cooking scallops a la plancha, we encourage you to check out this video where the Zamburiñas are cooked this way, with a high temperature sear and a little bit of smoking. Simple, quick, and (or course) delicious, our scallops are imported directly from the Mediteranean region.
