Tips:
- Use high-quality scallops. Fresh, dry-packed scallops are the best choice for this recipe. Avoid scallops that are treated with preservatives or chemicals.
- Sear the scallops properly. Searing the scallops in a hot skillet with butter or oil will help to develop a golden-brown crust and lock in the juices.
- Don't overcook the scallops. Scallops are very delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook them for just a few minutes per side, or until they are opaque and just cooked through.
- Use a good quality Parmesan cheese. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese will give the scallops the best flavor. Avoid using pre-grated Parmesan cheese, as it can be bland and lacking in flavor.
- Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best served hot, right out of the pan. They can be served over pasta, rice, or vegetables.

Parmesan scallops are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your scallops turn out perfectly every time.
