- 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.
