FRESH BAY SCALLOPS ON THE HALF SHELL image

We are so blessed to be able to live in Florida with an abundance of fresh sea food. I hope you like my spin on scallops on the half shell. You can use as an appetizer or as a main course with pasta alfredo and garlic bread

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 stick butter, room temperature
1 tube(s) butter crackers
4 clove minced garlic
1 large lemon
1 large tomato
25 bay scaallops on the half shell
creole seasoning to taste
parmesan cheese optional

Steps:

  • 1. When cleaning your scallops only remove the meat from the top shell. Leave the meat attached to the bottom half
  • 2. Melt 1 stick of butter with 4 minced cloves of garlic on a low heat. Add your creole seasoning( to your taste) and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Low heat just to bring the flavors together.
  • 3. Crush up the sleeve of crackers and put in separate bowl. Cut the tomato in 4 pieces, de-seed and dice the flesh fine and add to the cracker mixture.
  • 4. Mix together the cracker mixture and melted butter mixture.
  • 5. Add "Just A Pinch" of cracker mixture to each scallop. You don't want to over power the flavor of the scallop. I then add more creole seasoning and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and another squeeze of lemon. Bake at 350 for about 8 minutes

This is my go-to recipe for scallops. They're always cooked perfectly and the sauce is always delicious. I love serving this dish to guests.

I thought this dish was just okay. The scallops were cooked well, but the sauce was a bit too rich for my taste.

This recipe was a disaster! The scallops were rubbery and the sauce was watery. I definitely do not recommend it.

Not bad, but not great either. The scallops were a bit dry and the sauce was bland.

The scallops were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try again with a shorter cooking time.
