Baked Scallops
Makes 4 servings
1 1/2 lb. sea scallops
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs (I used roasted garlic bread crumbs)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
4 tbsp butter, melted
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp sweet paprika
dash cayenne pepper (or more to taste)
Defrost scallops completely according to directions on the package. Dry them with paper towels.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush a bit of the olive oil on the bottom of a casserole dish. Place the scallops in the dish, leaving a bit of room between each one.
Mix all remaining ingredients in a bowl, stirring until well combined. Spoon the bread crumb mixture onto the scallops.
Bake 15 minutes until the topping is golden brown.
