Zamburinas

Zamburinas are a type of bivalve mollusc, similar to a scallop but smaller. They are found on the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts. Traditionally, they are grilled or baked, often with garlic, parsley, and a splash of white wine. They are a popular appetizer in Galicia, served on their own or as part of a larger portion.
