BAKED SCALLOPS
The pan juices that are released from baking the scallops mix with creme fraiche and white wine to create a delicious garlicky sauce. Serve this gratin with crusty bread for dipping, or for a heartier dish, serve over thin spaghetti tossed in olive oil.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Melt butter and wine together, when melted add paprika, seasoned salt, and lemon juice. Drop scallops into melted wine and butter sauce. Allow scallops to marinade for about 30 minutes. Wrap each scallop with half piece of bacon, and fasten bacon with a toothpick. Place wrapped scallops onto a baking sheet, and bake in the oven for about 8 minutes, then turn over and bake for another 8 minutes or until the scallops are opaque.
Tips:
- Choose Fresh Scallops: Opt for plump and firm scallops with a briny aroma. Avoid any that have a slimy texture or an off smell.
- Properly Clean the Scallops: Remove the side muscle from each scallop, which is a small, tough muscle located on the side of the scallop. Rinse the scallops thoroughly under cold water to remove any grit or sand.
- Use High-Quality Butter: Unsalted butter is the preferred choice, as it allows you to control the saltiness of the dish. If using salted butter, adjust the amount of salt you add to the recipe.
- Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season the scallops liberally. A combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika works well. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, oregano, or chili powder, to taste.
- Cook the Scallops to Perfection: Scallops cook quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking. They should be cooked until they are opaque throughout, with a slight golden-brown sear on the outside.
Conclusion:
Baked scallops at 400 degrees Fahrenheit is a simple yet elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few ingredients and minimal preparation, you can create a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of your own home. Remember to choose fresh scallops, season them generously, and cook them to perfection for the best results. Experiment with different herbs and spices to find your favorite flavor combinations. Whether you serve them as an appetizer or a main course, baked scallops are sure to impress your guests.
