Steps:
- 1. Place scallops, crackers, parsley and garlic powder in bag and shake. Place in glass baking dish. Sprinkle with lemon juice and pour melted butter on or just dabs of butter on top. Bake for 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Don't over-bake so check for doneness at about 20 minutes.
Tips:
- To ensure the freshest scallops, purchase them live or frozen the same day they were caught. Avoid pre-shucked scallops, as they may have been treated with preservatives or chemicals.
- Before cooking, remove the small muscle that runs along the side of the scallop. This muscle can be tough and chewy if left intact.
- To prevent the scallops from shrinking during cooking, pat them dry with a paper towel before searing.
- Sear the scallops over high heat for a few minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the scallops, as they will become tough.
- If you are using frozen scallops, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.
- Scallops can be cooked in a variety of ways, including baking, broiling, grilling, pan-frying, and sautéing.
- Scallops are a versatile ingredient that can be paired with a variety of flavors, such as lemon, butter, garlic, herbs, and spices.
