How to make Whelk Scampi

Thaw out the whelk meat completely before starting your cooking.

Melt all the butter into a medium heated pan.

Once melted, add in all finely diced shallots. Stir and cook shallots until they are translucent.

Once shallots and the butter are lightly bubbling, add in your soy sauce, pepper flakes, and cayenne. Stir for about 10 seconds to incorporate it into the sauce.

Add in your lemon juice and black pepper and stir for another 10 seconds. Taste the sauce and add in more salt, pepper and/or cayenne to your preference.

When you are happy with your sauce, add in all your whelk and cook until it is heated through, about a couple minutes. Be careful not to have it on heat for too long as it can get very chewy when overcooked.

Stir in your parsley when off the heat to finish.
