Four servings of Marjorie’s Baked Scallops
One pound of washed and patted dry sea scallops
2 teaspoons melted unsalted butter
3 minced garlic cloves
half a cup of bread crisps
1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon of salt
a quarter of a teaspoon of pepper
1/4 tablespoon of fresh parsley, chopped
One lemon, wedged for presentation
What to do
1. Set the oven temperature to 400°F, or 200°C.
2. Melt the butter and mince the garlic in a medium bowl.
thirdly, in a separate basin, mix together the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
4. After dipping each scallop into the butter mixture, liberally sprinkle them with the bread crumb mixture. Put the scallops on a baking dish after coating them.
Scatter the leftover bread crumb mixture over the scallops in the dish. 5.
6. Cook the scallops for around 18 to 20 minutes in a preheated oven, or until they become firm and opaque.
7. Serve roasted scallops with lemon wedges on the side and garnish with chopped parsley.
Changes and Hints
A pinch of crushed red pepper, when added to the bread crumb mixture, gives it a little more bite. You may add a distinct and lovely herb flavor by omitting the parsley and adding some chopped fresh basil or dill. Shredded Gruyère, when combined with Parmesan, adds a wonderful depth of flavor—perfect for cheese addicts.
Enjoy!
