How To Make coquilles st jacques

• Step 1
  With the rack positioned about 6-inch from the top, preheat the broiler. Add enough coarse sea salt in a baking sheet and place the shells so they stay in place; set aside.
• Step 2
  In a large saucepan, add shallots, wine and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and add bay scallops; cook for 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer scallops to a bowl and set aside.
• Step 3
  Return saucepan to heat and cook liquid down to 1/3rd. Add *Béchamel Sauce and season with white pepper, cayenne pepper and ground sea salt. Stir before adding cooking sherry. Stir in ½ cup cheese. Return scallops, with their juice, to the saucepan and stir well. If sauce gets too thick, add some heavy cream.
• Step 4
  Remove from the heat and spoon scallop mixture evenly into shells placed in the prepared baking sheet. Transfer mashed potatoes to a pastry bag and using a large tip, pipe around the outside edge, creating a ring. Sprinkle on the remaining cheese and parsley. Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes or until golden brown; serve immediately. Serves 6
