Lion's Paws shells sometimes wash up on the beaches of Sanibel Island in the Gulf Coast. It happens infrequently and is considered one of the rarer finds for shell seekers. So rare, in fact, that should you stumble across one, you get your picture in the Sanibel Press. Yes...yes that was me with a Lion's Paw in the Sanibel Island Sun in 1997. Now stop embarrassing me.

Yes, they are amazing over a wood fire with pickled sweet pepper vinaigrette and arugula
Or
Roasted with a spicy garlic mustard chimichurri

I have not had any as of yet this season but we have had them in the past. We have slow butter poached them first and then seared them ala minute which is my favorite way of cooking scallops that are larger. Then tend to stay very moist and have a beautiful texture. This time of year spring garlic and onions with either asparagus or lava beans makes a greatnlight appetizer.

This is very interesting but no I unfortunatly have not had the chance to work with this product.
