This is my kid's favorite dish to order at our favorite seafood restaurant in coastal North Carolina. They are so good! This isn't a copy cat recipe, just me trying to mimick an awesome dish. I think I've come close!

The scallops were bland. I think I would have liked them better if I had used a different seasoning.

I found the recipe to be a bit too complicated. I think it would be easier to just fry the scallops in a pan.

The scallops were a bit overcooked, but the coating was still crispy and flavorful.
