Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb sea scallops cut if they are huge.
1 3/4-1 sleeve town house crackers only. do not substitute
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper
1 tsp dried parsley ( use fresh if wanted)
1/4 tsp thyme, dried
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp basil, dried
1/2 a lemon
6 Tbsp butter
1-2 c milk for soaking

Steps:

  • 1. Gather all ingredients. Note: To stuff lobster tails with this mixture. Use small bay scallops instead of sea scallops.
  • 2. Soak scallops in milk for at least a 1/2 hour. This helps sweeten the scallops, and make them more tender. Set oven to 350 degree's
  • 3. Remove scalops from milk. Strain with sieve. Lightly pat dry with paper towel
  • 4. crush crackers in a bowll with hands. Do not pulverize them into crumbs. You want them a tiny bit chunky. Mix cracker crumbs with parsley thyme, basil, paprika, salt and pepper.
  • 5. Place scallops in a bowl . Mix a squeeze of lemon with 1/2 the butter. Pour over scallops and toss.
  • 6. Sprinkle half the cracker crumb mixture on a sheet pan. Bake until turning golden. Sprinkle over the scallops and toss to combine.
  • 7. Toss remaining cracker crumbs with butter and a squeeze of lemon. Sprinkle over the top of the scallops. Place in oven and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until cooked thtough. Turn oven on to broil to make crumbs golden brown on top. Remove from oven and serve.
