3. Once you see any clams open up, remove it to a separate bowl one by one. Those which doesn't open at the end, discard them. Then take out clam from the shell and save for later use.
4. Sieve the soup left in the pot for later use.
5. Preheat Grill to 230'C.
6. If using scallops, clean and wipe dry. Heat up a pan, add some Butter. Pan fry scallops, each side approx 30sec to 1min. Remove to a plate, cut them up to bite size. Save for later use.
7. Prepare shallow soup bowl/dish (over proof) by placing clam meat and cut scallops inside each bowl.
8. Heat up a pan, then add 2 tpsp of butter, once it started to melt, add 1-2 tbsp of flour, use a whisk to mix them thoroughly until it becomes a roux. Add all the clam soup you save earlier and some whipping cream until the "soup" consistency is to your liking, keeping stirring with the whisk.
6. Spoon the cream soup to the soup dish/bowl. Lastly sprinkle the top with breadcrumbs. Place at top shelf inside oven (grill setting) for approx 5-8 min (until the breadcrumbs are browned)!
