Steps:
- 1. Place scallops, crackers, parsley and garlic powder in bag and shake. Place in glass baking dish. Sprinkle with lemon juice and pour melted butter on or just dabs of butter on top. Bake for 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Don't over-bake so check for doneness at about 20 minutes.
Tips:
- Use fresh scallops. Fresh scallops have a sweet, briny flavor and a firm texture. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong odor.
- Clean the scallops properly. To clean scallops, remove the side muscle and any black or brown bits. Rinse the scallops thoroughly with cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Season the scallops simply. Scallops have a delicate flavor, so it's best to season them simply with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Cook the scallops quickly. Scallops only need to be cooked for a few minutes per side. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
- Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served on their own, with a side of rice or vegetables, or added to a pasta dish or salad.
Conclusion:
Baked scallops are a quick, easy, and delicious seafood dish. They can be enjoyed as an appetizer or main course. With their sweet, briny flavor and firm texture, scallops are a versatile ingredient that can be paired with a variety of sides and sauces. Whether you're looking for a simple weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, baked scallops are sure to please.
