Garlic Butter Baked Scallops πŸ‹

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) sea scallops (rinsed and patted dry)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (Panko works best for crunch)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or use individual ramekins.
  2. Prepare the garlic butter:
    In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, and lemon juice.
  3. Arrange scallops:
    Place scallops in a single layer in the baking dish. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Pour butter mixture:
    Spoon the garlic butter mixture evenly over the scallops.
  5. Top with breadcrumbs and cheese:
    In a separate bowl, mix breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle over the scallops.
  6. Bake:
    Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until scallops are opaque and topping is golden brown. For extra browning, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.
  7. Garnish and serve:
    Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

βœ… Tips:

  • Make sure scallops are completely dry before baking to avoid excess liquid.
  • If using smaller bay scallops, reduce the baking time by a few minutes.
