List of Ingredients



• 1 1/2 pounds fresh scallops
  
• 1 cup milk

2. Strain, but reserve the milk.
   
3. Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the flour, and mix well, then gradually stir in the warmed milk, seeing that it is free from lumps.
   
4. Add the mushrooms, sherry, and scallops.
   
5. Put into an ovenproof dish and cover the top with mashed potatoes (You may wish to mix the potatoes with a bit of milk so that they can be spread like an icing over the scallops)

7. Garnish with parsley
