Conchitas A La Parmesana

Conchitas a la parmesana is a popular Peruvian seafood dish made with scallops baked with Parmesan cheese. It’s a simple yet flavorful appetizer, especially enjoyed in coastal areas of Peru. The dish starts with fresh scallops in their shells, which are topped with a combination of butter, Parmesan cheese, and a splash of lime juice. The scallops are then broiled or baked until the cheese becomes golden and slightly crispy, while the scallops stay tender and juicy. The result is a decadent dish with a mix of the briny flavor from the scallops, the richness of melted butter, and the sharp, savory taste of Parmesan. Conchitas a la parmesana are served directly in their shells as a starter or small plate, garnished with a wedge of lime for extra zest.
